Hi Georg

I think I remember something like this ... could it be that carp takes over the interface before pfsync has finished updating the booted machine's connection table? TCP (and many other protocols) takes care of such situations by simply retransmitting, so any TCP connections should recover within seconds. When using UDP I suppose, recovery depends on the application.

Another reason could be the interfaces not coming back up together. You should set net.inet.carp.preempt=1
