I think what Gleb meant by "It also allows to run a single redundant IP per interface" is that, like in OpenBSD, you won't need to assign a physical IP address in the same subnet as the CARP IP you want to use, on your system. LEGACY: - 1 physical IP in subnet XY on a physical interface - 1 virtual IP in subnet XY on a carp interface HEAD: - 1 virtual IP in subnet XY on a physical interface Although, you're still allowed to assign a physical IP to suit your needs. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
