it's configured to not send that out to WAN. Using em0 for that, here is the 
picture from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/carp.html#failover with carp devices 
added. With LAN, I don't really care about the src addr. With WAN, I have to 
comply to an upstream rule.

          | carp1        | 
     +----| WAN/Internet |----+
     |                        |   
  em2|                        |em2   
  +-----+                  +-----+
  | fw1 |-em1----------em1-| fw2 |
  +-----+                  +-----+
  em0|                        |em0
     |                        |   
  ---+-----| LAN        |-----+---
           | carp0      |

when I send out to WAN on fw1 or fw2 the src addr is em2 as described in 
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/carp.html#RulesetTips

that's just fine.

still my question is: are there other options besides nat-to to set the src 
addr for traffic going to WAN? What would you be using?
