I was going through the FAQ testing my CARP set up and tried "ifconfig
carp1 down". The backup promoted itself to master ONLY for carp1 even
though I have net.inet.carp.preempt=1.
But, "ifconfig em1 down" DOES cause the backup firewall to promote
itself to master for ALL interfaces.
The below patch addresses this in the PF FAQ (using the examples in the
FAQ, not my real setup :) ).
