No, there is no such possibility. The reason for this, is that carp(4)=20 has to register a protocol which cannot be (easily) done on-the-fly. =20 Since you should have a fail-over running it shouldn't be a problem to=20 build a carp enabled backup while the failover host takes care of the=20 service, however. As a fallback there is a userland implementaion of carp (google "ucarp"),=20 but I am not sure what the status of that is or if it works with the=20 in-kernel version. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1313234.ZObVffZ0H5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBE6b9GXyyEoT62BG0RArFVAJ0eipQQSOrM6IJ1clbGAdwB+CSPJwCfc+rz nH+u6bHwYkAKtdVVsxq+2Qc= =qPM9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1313234.ZObVffZ0H5--
