I remember similar symptoms when some of my vlan interfaces were blocking carp traffic. I think I had to add an according rule for every interface like this: pass quick on vlan230 inet proto carp from any to any keep state (no-sync) In another case one of the interfaces on the master was misconfigured (some typo in hostname.if). Maybe setting net.inet.carp.log=3 also shows more info. best /m
