hi
i try it today again just for one interface in this case.
on host a:

inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \

        carpdev em4 \

        group management_if \

        carpnodes 91:0,101:100
on host  b:
inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \

        group management_if \

        carpdev em4 \

        carpnodes 101:0,91:100
this works !
i can see the traffic on both interfaces and boxes.
now i try to change the next carp interface

on host a:

inet 10.90.1.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \

        group management_if \

        carpnodes 90:0,100:100
after the setup on the first box  my whole network go's down.
my question is can i do carp loadblanacing on a multiple carp box ( 5 carp

interfaces ) ?
is this the right way to do lb carp like i ahead described ?
