Re: router / firewall with PF and carp.
I can say that both of them are pretty good choice, in my personal experience I had the same configuration that you are planning to implement qith two servers on OpenBsd 4.6 + carp+ bgp as a router in a huge network , the only problem was some well know bug with carp and bgp..that for some reason some times one of the server nic (carp-backup) try to became master, when wasn't necesary... and the routes were screwed up. But now with the new openbsd 4.8, if i were you I would give it a try Jorge E.

router / firewall with PF and carp.
Hi, We are in the process to replace two Cisco Pix firewalls and one Cisco router with two servers running PF with carp. The network is large (it is an University) and all will depend on this two machines.
