Hi Everyone,

I am curious to know if it is possible to have a pair of pfSense servers swap 
IP's on an interface or vlan interface when they failover, just like the Cisco 
ASA can.  So on a pair of failover ASA's I only need to use either 1 or 2 IP's 
(if I want to) to handle moving the gateway IP between the pair, including 
setting the mac address.  I have been playing with pfSense to see if I set CARP 
to try to do the same thing, but so far I haven't seen a way to do it or I am 
just missing it.

It seems like CARP acts more like HSRP in the fact it needs 1 IP set on the 
interface of each pair and then will only move any IP I set as a CARP IP.  
Which is they way I understand HSRP works.  Now with VRRP I only need 2 IP's 
total to handle failover and with the ASA failover I can reduce it down to a 
single IP.

Any thoughts or suggestions on if pfSense can do this or how I would make it do 
it?

I am curious to see if it can be done.

Thanks everyone

Joe
