After reading about CARP some more, I think that's the expected behavior:

--- http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#CARP ---
How it works: CARP is a multicast protocol. It groups several physical 
computers together under one or more virtual addresses. Of these, one 
system is the master and responds to all packets destined for the group, 
the other systems act as hot spares.
--- http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#CARP ---

Since I don't have pfsync enabled yet the other two machines don't have 
the propper state and will drop the connection. Normally this would only 
pollute the log, but on the internal networks I don't want connections 
to hang for long periods so I do "block return". This causes pf to 
respond to the traffic since it doesn't know anything about the machine 
being a carp backup, and thus the originating host receives a RST and 
drops the connection.

I'm wondering if the combination block return + carp is going to work at 
all, even with pfsync... I will do some more research on that.

Regards,
Sebastiaan
