Hello, According to OpenBSD's PF manual, located here : http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/carp.html It describes a directive that can be passed to CARP , called "carpdev", which "specifies the physical network interface that belongs to this redundancy group" My question is that , after noticing that this directive doesn't exist in FreeBSD's man page for carp, is there any way to associate a CARP device with a real interface? For example if I have a server with two interfaces with IP addresses on the same subnet - how will carp know which real interface to associate with? My understanding is that if no 'carpdev' directive is passed, carp will detect the interface if its on the same subnet as the given carp ip. If this can be done , please let me know! Thanks, Kevin
