Oh, and I forgot to mention I think you might be seeing ARP cache
induced issues, depending on what you had plugged in before. Turn off
everything, modems, switches, etc., and try again.

CARP works fine, people don't use it with PPPoE because you can't, at
least not in the usual sense of having a failover firewall. PPPoE's
dynamic interfaces and CARP may not play well together. If you didn't
have any CARP IPs on your PPPoE interface, that should be irrelevant.

Like when they're in a block routed to your WAN IP.  Yours need ARP.

That's a good possibility, I'm also wondering if something related to
the card would prevent proxy ARP from working, but I don't think I've
ever heard of that happening.
