Hi Stuart, yea I realised that after, it's also implied I guess as its using an IPv4 address after all.

I will probably remove it as I didn't need it for IPv4 before. I was just trying everything I thought might be relevant to get it working when the real problem was not setting up my test environment properly...

Considering the differences between v4 and v6 (ndp etc), would carppeer be more useful for v6 (I know it is currently v4 only)?

I would prefer to not have to use carppeer as it is another thing to manage and configure correctly, but my priority is stability and speed(does it improve the speed of CARP setup/detection etc)?

Thanks for your help :) Andy

hmm, I wonder if we should extended the description of carppeer in
ifconfig(8) to make it clear that it's only for v4...
