Hello,

The problem I am bumping into is CARP and/or OSPF. I am trying to replace some 
old cisco stuff and to redesign/update
the network. What I am trying to accomplish is to have redundancy with load 
balancing and routing between networks.
While using only OSPF the network is "routable" and I have redundancy. To 
configure load balancing with OSPF (between
the 4 wireless links) is to configure the links to have "equal cost". I am 
correct on this?
The other plan was to use CARP for redundancy, load balancing and easy 
management and OSPF for routing. CARP as virtual
device cannot redistribute OSPFs routes at least with 3.8. Searching through 
google there is no record about
successfully using this combination. Are there any changes in 3.9? Or if you 
have other suggestions?
