        That's what I took from 
https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_pfSense_Hardware_Redundancy_%28CARP%29.
  Two WAN IP, two LAN IP, and two more for sync.

        Yeah I thought about that a while.  In our case  I think the ability to 
move them around the cluster trumps that.  Downtime would be pretty much only 
during upgrades, which we could do during the day with the failover.

        But (per the above) we would have two WAN IPs?
