By the way, is there a way of assigning proxy arp IP

one it doesn't get added to the other one so I lose it when
the master goes down.
Thanks.
No. Think of it as you are trying to use one IP on two machines
simultaneously. The same proxy ARP IP can belong to only one
device on
one network segment.
But with ucarp there is only one IP address with a single mac address. I
thought the intention is that it should show up as a single interface (to the
outside world).
So, proxy-arp and carp are completely different things. CARP
IP indeed
has one virtual mac-address which belongs to currently active node.
I would like that virtual mac-address to be sent out for my proxy arpd
ip address, this was the NATs and rules I setup on the master will
persist to the slave should the master fail.
The alternative (I think) would be for me to setup a second IP address
on each of the servers and carp them as well (this will allow me to carp
the new IP range we have). Would this work?
I think you misunderstand the whole idea. You can not have two IP ranges
on the same interface with CARP IPs from both ranges. As to me it is
generally not a good idea to have more than one subnet on a single
interface but sometimes ISPs force users to do it.
I am very new to pfSense and probably somebody from real gurus will
correct me.
