Ah... put it will also failover all the OTHER carp interfaces on the box
when a physical interface goes down.... I had read the man page as that
being the ONLY feature of that sysctl variable.
net.inet.carp.preempt
Allow virtual hosts to preempt each other. It
is also used to failover carp interfaces as a
group. When the option is enabled and one of
the carp enabled physical interfaces goes down,
advskew is changed to 240 on all carp interfaces.
THanks!
