I've been using CARP for years and it's always done exactly what I wanted and
expected. We recently added a second ISP and another NIC to each of our
firewalls. Each firewall now has 3 NIC's and three CARP interfaces. The
original two are working fine, but the third CARP interface (carp2) shows up
as MASTER on both the primary and failover firewalls. I have verified password,
vhid and pf.conf and still can't figure out what I might have done wrong.
Both firewalls have net.inet.carp.preempt=1
Here is some output from tcpdump:
