We won't be selling it.   But we will have a company that offers
supports, paid feature integration, etc.  But its somewhat early to
discuss this at the moment.

Okay, you've been bitten by a parser bug that appeared during the
hackathon.  Either start from a blank config on the latest version
(0.79.2) or do the following:

/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
rm /tmp/config.cache
vi /cf/conf/config.xml
/tunnel
(delete the <tunnel> with double d)
/tunnel
(delete the </tunnel> with double d)
:wq!
/etc/rc.filter_configure
pfctl -f /tmp/rules.debug
(you should have no errors at this point)
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro

Its a config.xml bug so it will persist until squashed :)

It can now.  Look at Virtual IP->CARP Settings.   It can sync
configuration settings from master -> backup 1 -> backup 2, etc

This should work now but outgoing load balancing still needs work.
