HI That is exactly as it stands right now .. i.e. the only thing carp creates for me is a LAN gateway (Virtual). I have also tried it with or without outbound LB. No difference. There is No NAT ( inbound )and No Virtual WAN IP. I only use it for outbound redundancy.
As I say it works well if I manually intervene, i.e. when both boot together I have to hit disable CARP .. and then Enable CARP on both boxes.. as simple as that. It then identifies if it is first ( master ) or second ( BACKUP )depending on the order in which I hit disable/enable carp. But they always go INIT if no CARP server is up, if at least one CARP server is up then things work as expected.

You might want to use carp in this configuration only at lan. this way you are able to failover but the clients will have to restart the sessions after a failover took place (won't be stateful). I also doubt that you would be able to use the same ip on both of your wans as carp-ip in this setup (you wrote different ips). So just follow the tutorial but don't build a carp ip for wan and don't do the outbound nat stuff. Only create a LAN-Carp IP and make the clients use it as gateway.

WAN: PPPoE with DHCP from ISP separate user accounts (2 different IPs on WAN ) LAN: 172.16.24.0/28 So the OPT1 has static IPs when CARP starts. Does WAN (PPPoE) also have to be UP when CARP wants to start?

Carp is up! Any ideas why they don't automagically figure these > things out ? first node up should always be master? I do not show this behavior here. Are you perhaps using PPPoE on the WAN? A ip must be bound to the interface on the same subnet as the CARP ip's. > 2) I only have 2 servers but everytime I reboot one to test it another carp > id gets created in the list ? This has been covered in the list. Each time machines boot they create a random creator id. This is how pfsync works. > 3) dhcp rules and others are replicating across LB rules are not ? I'll look into it.
