And drop the extra alias. ifconfig_vlan410_alias0="inet 10.104.10.251/32 vhid 110 pass passhere advskew 150" CARP requires that all IPs on an interface that are part of the same vhid to be listed (added) in the exact same order for the vhid to be considered "the same". That one trips me up all the time when manually adding an IP to a CARP pair, and then later rebooting one box as they both think they're master for that interface, while being a mix of master/backup for the other interfaces. Cheers, Freddie (running CARP on 2 10-CURRENT boxes and 2 10.1-p13 boxes)
