Interesting...we have not seen that problem with IPv6 and CARP.  I just looked 
and the backup is showing Backup for all IPs.

I do occasionally, like after our 2.3.2 to 2.3.3_1 upgrade, where one IP does 
get stuck as Master on the backup after the primary is updated and restarts.  I 
am fairly certain it was an IPv4 address though, and is not a new issue.  
Restarting fixes it.

Hamid, are you saying you have two issues, that IPv6 is not being synced and 
that DHCPv6 is not being synced?  We aren't using DHCPv6 but have not seen any 
issues with IPv6 and CARP.  IPv6 connectivity shouldn't be related to whether 
DHCPv6 is running, as long as the PCs have addresses...?

Hi Hamid,

can you check whether your IPv6 CARP Addresses are in agood condition 
after 10-15 minutes of uptime?
I have a problem with multiple setups where CARPv6 changes to dual 
master after 10 minutes. IPv6 connectivity is nearly impossible with 
that setup. However IPv4 and CARP with v4 are working as they should.
Those problems appeared short after the update to 2.3.3p1.
