Hello- A few months ago I wrote a small patch that allows ifconfig to explicitly set a carp device to MASTER or BACKUP state. The code is based upon OpenBSD's ifconfig, which has this feature. This is handy for situations where you want an active carp interface to fail over to/take over from the other host, perhaps for testing purposes or if you have a failed master you've brought back up that you want to take over again for a currently active slave host. The patch is attached to this PR: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query- pr.cgi?pr=100956. No one has sent any followups to the PR, but I thought there may be someone on this list interested in having this feature added. Nick
