I've read the carp manpage, but am not clear if carp is able to help in
the following scenario:
A box at a high availability colo site forwards some traffic to a
company LAN using a VPN. There are two VPN connections it could route
packets through, one going through the LAN's Cable connection, the other
through its DSL connection. Both VPN's connect to the same end host on
the other side of the two connections.
If the DSL connection goes down, I want all connections and traffic to
be shunted to the Cable connection. I control both ends of the VPN,
which are OpenBSD Soekris boxes.
Is this possible out of the box and supported by OpenBSD, or is it the
wrong approach to trying to keep packets getting into the LAN when one
of the external connections fail?
