First, I have a question regarding load balancing. From reading the description on how to configure arpbalance with CARP, I get the impression that it's an all or nothing proposition. Is that really the case? I have a project where I will need to enable CARP on a pair of multi-interface firewall/routers. Some of the connected networks make sense for arpbalance. If I turn it on, am I required to have a pair of carp interfaces configured for each physical interface? Can I use dual vhid's for some networks and single vhid's for others? Second, I'd like to know if anyone has set up CARP alongside a routing daemon of some sort (zebra, quagga, etc). I'm particularly interested in how the daemons handle things like OSPF/RIP updates. I should obviously be trying to set the gateway to the CARP address, but I'm not sure that's the easiest thing to do. Has anyone looked into this yet? -- Matthew George SecureWorks Technical Operations 404.327.6339
