-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello- There is a feature from OpenBSD's carp implementation that allows one to specify which device a carp interface will use, similar to how vlan devices are associated to a physical interface with the vlandev option to ifconfig. The change to support this carpdev option looks like it was added about a year and a half ago to OpenBSD, but it has not been merged into FreeBSD yet. I would like to have support for this on my routers, and I am interested in trying to port these changes over to FreeBSD.
I have two questions, however. First, is it desired by others that FreeBSD's carp attempt to follow the development of OpenBSD's implementation? In looking at cvs commit logs in sys/netinet/ip_carp.[ch], I have seen that there have been only a few instances where OpenBSD changes have been merged into FreeBSD's carp sources. Second, would it be more appropriate for me to attempt to merge all of OpenBSD's changes to the carp device to FreeBSD, or only those specific to supporting the carpdev functionality that I want? If I should send this to -net or elsewhere instead, please let me know and I'll do that :) Thanks Nick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEx/qa44NxFgGs4RMRCv0VAJ9JX1yYjPiEICsGwkUPnRdsV9EN/QCg37uk a9xPLjqR8wDD71ZP57T00Jc= =xTTr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ freebsd-pf@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pf To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
