Thanks guys. I think Julian gave me the answer I was looking for. On the other hand I believe that CARP handbook/man pages are inaccurate. I'm not supposed to look for these kind of things on a mailing list. "Working instructions" are the most important information and have to be there. I also think that the "arp load balancing" section of CARP is not that complete. But anyway, it's just my point of view on this very specific case as I'm generally very happy about the quality of Free/Open BSD man pages. Thank you all for your time, have a good day.
