Then again, given the 'failure is not an option' scenario, any sane network design would mean you most likely have a multiply redundant CARP'd setup in place, so a hardware failure like the one described on one box would simply mean the machine would take itself out of the running, one of the backups would take over and your friendly robot helper would be paging you to replace the failed hardware at your earliest opportunity. By all means nothing stops you from writing script magic, but the tools already in your OpenBSD base system lets you solve these situations quite admirably and in several differen ways already. -- Peter N.
