ifstated with carp0

[Laurent CARON]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup ifstated to execute some scripts on state change on 
carp0.

Here is my config file on both machines

*****************************************************************
init-state auto

carp_up = "carp0.link.up"
carp_down = "carp0.link.down"

state auto {
    if $carp_up {
                set-state primary
        }
        if $carp_down {
                set-state backup
        }
}

state primary {
        init {
                run "echo now primary"
        }

        if $carp_down {
                set-state backup
        }
}

state backup {
        init {
                run "echo now backup"
        }

        if $carp_up {
                set-state primary
        }
}

******************************************************************

When I start ifstated both nodes "think" they're primary (not from a 
carp point of view) from an ifstated point of view.

Do any of you have some advice about it ?

Thanks

Laurent
