Both machines have net.inet.carp.preempt=3D1

To sum up, with "A" the original MASTER, "B" the BACKUP:
- At first boot net.inet.carp.demotion is > 0 on A and B (which is not
  expected)
- A is in MASTER state and B is in BACKUP state (which is expected)
- If I unplug the cable from A, the state changes from BACKUP -> MASTER
  on B (which is expected)
- When I re-plug the cable in A, the state remains the same (A is in
  BACKUP and B is in MASTER, which is *not* expexted)
- As soon as set net.inet.carp.demotion to "0" the states change as
  expected (A in MASTER and B in BACKUP)

Is it normal and expected that the demotion counter is > 0 at first=20
boot? Could this be related to the order of the interfaces?

Thanks!

Julien
