As it's a mysql server I need to be very careful over CARP interfaces. Is there any way from rc.conf of creating a carp interface in the 'down' state - i.e. INIT? That way if the box reboots we can be confident that whilst the interface will be 'setup' it will not come up at all, *even if* the other MASTER has gone away. I noticed in the 9.1 release notes there's the ability to force a state of BACKUP or MASTER - but I can't seem to force a state of INIT, or down? Thanks, -Karl
