Nope, just the carp interface that actually fail, not both. They are
process independently of one an other
Also, what version of OS are you running?
Hmmm. Just wait a minute, I may have put my foot in my mouth here. From man
"Because of the preempt option, when one of the physical interfaces of
host A fails, advskew is adjusted to 240 on all its carp interfaces.
This will cause host B to preempt on both interfaces instead of just the
failed one."
