The nasty workaround for this problem is to set the real address on the physical interface for both your boxes to the network address, and use the "regular" address as the carp address. So if your /30 is 192.168.6.64/30, you have the following: 192.168.6.64 - network address - assign to physical interface on both boxes 192.168.6.65 - gateway 192.168.6.66 - your address - assign to carp interface 192.168.6.67 - broadcast This is an unsavoury solution, and may break things, but I know that there are people out there using it. A better solution is planned for the carp code, but it's tricky. -Ryan
