Hello, A quick question.

I have a pair of 4.1 boxes acting as firewalls using carp/pfsync etc.

The primary has advskew 0, the backup has advskew 100. I have 
net.inet.carp.preempt=1 on both.

So anyway, I was downloading some 4.2 install binaries onto the backup 
fw, and I noticed that the backup/primary carp interfaces kept on 
switching between master/backup fairly rapidly ( around every 5 - 10 
seconds or so ) despite both hosts being up just fine.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Also, My understanding of net.inet.carp.preempt=1 needs to be adjusted I 
think; I thought that it meant if one carp interface goes down, ie, 
unplugged or whatever, then the rest go down, ie all other interfaces on 
the box? Is this right?


Thanks,
    Josh
