Yes to both, if you enable pf.  The advanced routing I think you're askin=
g
about is generally described as 'policy based routing' -- look for the=20
documentation on the 'route-to' keyword in pf rulesets:

  http://openbsd.org/faq/pf/pools.html#outgoing

If you implement CARP on a firewall pair, then you will need a carp0
pseudo interface -- this can be created and configured in /etc/rc.conf li=
ke
so:

   cloned_interfaces=3D"carp0"

   ifconfig_carp0=3D"vhid 100 pass ~not~telling~you~ 192.0.2.1/24"

FreeBSD-8.0 now also has the capability of using a per-application routin=
g
table, so you can change the routes for (say) apache or squid independent=
ly
of what applies for the rest of the system.  See setfib(1) for more
information, plus recent examples of implementing this in RC scripts on
the ports mailing list.

	Cheers,
