hello, is it possible to use carp to create reserve(and/or load-balanced) = ethernet channel between two machines? basic idea looks like: machine-1 (em0)------------eth------------(em0)machine-2 machine-1 (em1)----eth(reserved)------(em1)machine-2 as far as i know carp cannot allow to share the same IP's on one machine = because of no possibility to set same IP's on physical ethernet = interfaces... in IP level this problem can be easily solved with certain routing = daemons, but i must do it on layer-2. of course i could write a script for monitorig interface activity = status, on it's failure automaticaly rise-up reserve adapter, but maybe = someone has allready done this? any other suggestions are welcome...
