Thanks a million! I will have to re-arrange the interfaces they sync on and their switches. It was looking a bit grim till I got your email! The only reply I had thus far was from Eugen telling me I spelled Separate wrong :)

PFSense still rocks like Slayer! Hope you guys are all doing well and make a ton of dough on it at some point!

Thanks
Tim

Do VHIDs have to be unuique per IP on the same physical wire to avoid
conflicts with other CARP servers? We had similar floods when we first setup Pair1 to carp sync on LAN. It was flooding certain linksys and belkin WAPs
out on subscriber sites. We switched it to sync to WAN and the issue went
away.

The CARP vhid dictates it's MAC address.  You can only have a given
VHID on one Layer 2 segment (and depending on the switch, on one
switch if it can't handle identical MACs on multiple ports even if
they are on different VLANs).
