I just noticed that. On -CURRENT carp tells you that's
not supported:
bridge0: carp is not supported for this interface type

OTOH why do you even have to use the VIP from the remote
side of the bridge?

The only reason I can think of, for doing  such a thing,
is to get *all* traffic from the remote location through
a "single" redundant router, the one with the VIP. Is this
the case?
