Hi,I have the following setup: two servers with a virtual LAN IP address shared with CARP (the hosts are 10.0.80.77 and 10.0.80.76 and the virtual IP address is 10.0.80.1).
When I ping the VIP from any host on the LAN, it works fine.Next I have some openvpn clients (both 10.0.80.77 and 10.0.80.76 have openvpn servers on their external IPs). The client IPs are on the LAN using a bridge and are 10.0.80.150 (linux client) and 10.0.80.6 (freebsd client).
From linux I can ping the VIP (10.0.80.1) just fine, but when I do arping I see (with tcpdump) that the the ARP requests are received by the carp master on the tap0 device, but that it does not reply.
From a FreeBSD VPN client I cannot ping the VIP (10.0.80.1), because it does the ARP requests indefinitely and gets no answer.
Both machines ping to the other hosts on the LAN just fine (e.g., all of them can ping 10.0.80.77 just fine).
Is there any way to get ARP to work (and thereby, ping to work) in this configuration?
