Any plans for carpdev in FreeBSD?  I'd be happy to poke around the 
OpenBSD source and try to get it working on FreeBSD.  (Emphasis on the 
_try_)

Quick question:
I notice the IP in carp examples is always a /24.  If there is already a 
/24 IP on the 'host' interface for the carp device, why is it not a /32 
(like when an alias is issued)?

 hostname="hosta.example.org"
 ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
 cloned_interfaces="carp0"
 ifconfig_carp0="vhid 1 pass testpass 192.168.1.50/24"


Carpdev would get rid fo the 192.168.1.3 requirement and have something 
similar to vlandev.
