I have a pair of  pfsense 1.2RC2 firewalls with FW-A being the master
which synchronises to FW-b, they use CARP on both internal and external
interfaces for automatic failover.

I set up a bunch of openvpn configs for staff for "road-warrior" vpns
(using shared key, one vpn configured per member of staff).

As far as I can see the openvpn configuration does no replicate across,
so, in case of failure, I set up almost identical configs on each
firewall, but of course the IP addresses are different.

Internally, FW-Cluster is 10.0.0.1, FW-A is 10.0.0.2, FW-B is 10.0.0.3

Then FW-A openvpn is 10.0.1.x and FW-B is 10.0.2.x

As far as I can see openvpn sessions do not synchronise state between
machines.

This means that I need to have additional routes so that FW-A knows to
route FW-B's openvpn addresses to FW-B and vice versa. It does mean that
I can't set up routes to networks at the other ends of the tunnels
because I don't know in advance which firewall the tunnel will "come out
of".

Is there a better way to achieve this, i.e. can the firewalls
synchronise vpn setup and state in some way?

thanks
Paul
