	I have been using freevrrpd for quite a long time now and
	I think that carp is basicly the same thing (ie. VRRP) but
	a kernel implementation. It doesn't require both nodes to
	be alive when the system starts, if there is only one system and
	it doesn't hear advertisements from anyone, it goes to MASTER
	state after a while.
