Hi list, someone suggested I shall wait for the 3.9, see below. I googled a the whole day for a solution, and found this: http://www.countersiege.com/doc/ifstated/ where ryan describes my problem exactly.
will openbsd 3.9 carp be able to keep the interfaces in sync without ifstated? I read the changelog so far, but did not found any evidence. I also read through the manual pages on openbsd.org (these are always for -current, or not?) but have not found anything that might solve the problem without carp. Can someone clarify if it will work with 3.9 without ifstated? thanks a lot lars > > Try a 3.9 kernel and 3.9 ifconfig binary and see what happens > i'm using 3.9-current from the snapshots right now to great effect > > Lars Weste [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have some problems with carp and vlans, at least I think so. > > I found this: > > http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/cvs/2005-04/0996.html > > so my assumption may be wrong, as I use openbsd 3.8. > > > > I have four physical > > interfaces in my two firewalls, one for pfsync, one to the Internet, DMZ > > and LAN.
