hello,

is it possible to use carp  to create reserve(and/or load-balanced) =
ethernet channel between two machines?

basic idea looks like:

machine-1 (em0)------------eth------------(em0)machine-2
machine-1 (em1)----eth(reserved)------(em1)machine-2

as far as i know carp cannot allow to share the same IP's on one machine =
because of no possibility to set same IP's on physical ethernet =
interfaces...

in IP level this problem can be easily solved with certain routing =
daemons, but i must do it on layer-2.

of course i could write a script for monitorig interface activity =
status, on it's failure automaticaly rise-up reserve adapter, but maybe =
someone has allready done this?

any other suggestions are welcome...
