OpenBSD does play well with CARP + BGP but since we do not have
CARPDEV yet, we will not have these features.
Stuff like[1]:
-c Force bgpd to do carp(4) demotion at startup when the demote
functionality is used. Normally, bgpd will only do demotion
at startup when the demotion counter for the group in ques-
tion is already greater than 0. bgpd will start handling de-
motion after all sessions with demotion configured for the
given group have been successfully established. At system
startup, rc(8) has the demotion counter for the group carp
increased until after bgpd is started, so this option should
not be used in rc.conf(8).
Will hopefully be available some time in the future. A patch is being
tested on 7.X right now.
