What would be cool is if FreeBSD could do VRRP. This is usually used for providing a default route handled by two physical boxen, but if you turn it around and provide a route to a service IP address that may be handled by two boxen that deal with fail-over using VRRP then this solves the problem discussed in this thread. I'd be interested to know of a free implementation of VRRP for the BSD network stack.
