I don't understand teh question. the carp interface doesn't really see any traffic (please refrain from making me tell the details, but that is the executive summary, esp. from pf's viewpoint) at all. you filter on the underlaying physical or logical (vlan etc) interface. -- BS Web Services, http://www.bsws.de/ OpenBSD-based Webhosting, Mail Services, Managed Servers, ...
