Any plans for carpdev in FreeBSD? I'd be happy to poke around the OpenBSD source and try to get it working on FreeBSD. (Emphasis on the _try_)

Quick question:
I notice the IP in carp examples is always a /24. If there is already a /24 IP on the 'host' interface for the carp device, why is it not a /32 (like when an alias is issued)?

hostname="hosta.example.org"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
cloned_interfaces="carp0"
ifconfig_carp0="vhid 1 pass testpass 192.168.1.50/24"


Carpdev would get rid fo the 192.168.1.3 requirement and have something similar to vlandev.
