The better solutuon to test how carp worked is a arping :))) not ssh or other and you may be need to set a /32 mask for a virtual ip address , if you remind how works ip alliasing in freebsd.

Hi,
I have 2 machines running freebsd 6.0 compiled with "device carp". The example 
in the carp manual slightly confuses me. I can't make those 2 machines to appear as 
one... I hope you can help me.
machine A has xl0 with assigned ip of 10.10.8.145
machine B has xl0 with assigned ip of 10.10.8.146


Now following the example on carp(4) manual:
On machine A:
ifconfig carp0 create
ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 pass mypasswd 10.10.8.147/24
so now, machine A shows these in ifconfig:
carp0: flags=41 mtu 1500
inet 10.10.8.147 netmask 0xffffff00
carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0
meanwhile on machine B
ifconfig carp0 create
ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 advskew 100 pass mypasswd 10.10.8.147/24
 and I got
10.10.8.147/24 is duplicated by xl0 (10.10.8.145/24)

What I wanted to do is to do some failover... ssh to 10.10.8.147 and see what 
machine it would connect to.. then pull the utp out... and repeat the process.. 
this time i should be able to ssh to the backup server instead..
