Yes, I had read that. Since this two boxes are, amidst other things, acting as routers, I do want the interface pair to go into master state all at once. However I had understood that, once the other box comes up again, the two interfaces which had switched should go back to backup state and be masters on the alive-again host. In other words, after one server solved its troubles, I should have the initial status again. How can I accomplish this? BTW, I used to have this working on 4.x using the now discontinued freevrrpd port. I can't believe this is not possible anymore now. bye & Thanks av.
