that really sounds like your routes are messed up. assuming 10/24, you should have sth like 10.0.0.1/24 on node1 phys 10.0.0.2/24 on node2 phys 10.0.0.3/32 on carp note the netmask. you want a /32 on the carp if, always except when the phys interfaces do not have an IP from the subnet in question. -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
