BTW: the handbook=92s CARP-section still shows the old syntax.
I=92ve opened a PR for this
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Ddocs/186464

The man-page is correct, though.
But the FreeBSD handbook is actually quite good, most of the time, and =
sometimes contains more examples than the man-pages.

So, I guess a lot of people actually first go to the handbook these days =
(especially those from the younger generation, who do *everything* in =
their browser)
;-)

With CARP being so different between 9 and 10, I=92d advocate to have =
both syntaxes reflected in the handbook (if possible).
