Having got a nice redundant firewall setup working with openbsd 4.2 pf + carp + pfsync. My next step was to integrate it with ospf. My initial plan was to continue to treat the firewall pair, as a single 'virtual firewall' within the network and use ospf to advertise routes through just the carp interfaces. Looking at a couple of docs for ospf though, I was disappointed to find out I can't do this.

don't you mean something like this?

router-id 1.2.3.4

auth-type crypt
auth-md 1 mekmitasdigoat
auth-md-keyid 1

hello-interval 1
router-dead-time 4

area 0.0.0.0 {
        interface vlan701
        interface carp72 { passive }
        interface carp42 { passive }
        interface carp209 { passive }
        interface carp168 { passive }
}

Is that possible to do? I tried something similar on my setup and as soon as I removed the real interface from the area, nothing was advertised at all. Admittedly I didn't have the interface set as passive before, so that might have been my problem. I'll try that out now. My initial assumption was because I saw in an openospfd doc (by Claudio Jeker if it helps), that it was "impossible to run ospf on a carp interface", so assumed this was the correct behaviour. Anyway, if you're right, that's great news for me!
(Thanks for the quick response too!)
