your request is a bit confusing, but let me put two things straight. 1) carppeer without carppeer set, the carp annoucements are multicast. when carppeer is set, they are sent as unicast to the configured peer only. that's it. 2) vhid, IPs vhid is a property of the carp interface, and there can be one per carp interface. IP is a property of an interface (not limited to carp), and there can be many. > I'm planning to use a different interface for the carp advertisements > than the interface where the virtual IPs reside, but we have numerous > vlans, each with numerous vhids. I understand the words, but they just don't make any sense. -- Henning Brauer, [email protected], [email protected] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de, Full-Service ISP Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services.
