Thanks.

Yes. It doesn't seem to offer additional information to the tutorial.
My problem is that I need to run a pfSense CARP cluster as a router
for a public /24 network (no NAT, unfortunately no filtering bridge
either, because it doesn't work with CARP), which doesn't seem to be 
documented anywhere online. I probably just don't know what to search
for.

I *think* the lack of a dedicated SYNC interface is not fatal,
because I can sync either over WAN or LAN (I chose WAN, was that 
dumb? I'd rather not remove the private/bogon network blocking rule).

What I don't know is what to put into LAN side. Right now my network
machines have only software firewalling, and just connect to the
gateway (85.10.225.1). I'd rather leave that untouched, because
it allows me to recover from a misconfiguration by bypassing the
firewall via redefining the switch VLANs. Can I put 
85.10.225.0/24 both into the LAN and the WAN, and leave the other
hosts as is?

Right now I'm probably just going to put in the firewall cluster in
as is, and tinker remotely. If I can't make a failover cluster work,
I'll settle for a filtering bridge.

Anyone out there running a pfSense router for a public network 
with CARP failover cluster?  If yes, how did you do that?
