I'm a newbie to OpenBSD and I'm looking at designing a redundant

the MySQL functionality.
However, I'm curious to know if anyone has used CARP/PFSYNC as a
"primary" and "secondary" Apache server. The Apache server will use a
virtual name, so an IP address probably won't be a problem. There is a
firewall already in front of the OpenBSD box.
The goal is to have minimal downtime if there is a hardware failure.
Yours is a very simple application of OpenBSD and CARP. Unless you're
planning on doing filtering on each server (in addition to the ingress
filtering you already mentioned), there's no need for pfsync.
