No, there is no such possibility. The reason for this, is that carp(4) has to register a protocol which cannot be (easily) done on-the-fly. Since you should have a fail-over running it shouldn't be a problem to build a carp enabled backup while the failover host takes care of the service, however. As a fallback there is a userland implementaion of carp (google "ucarp"), but I am not sure what the status of that is or if it works with the in-kernel version. -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
