In short, I find it very useful and an excellent addition when building FreeBSD HA solutions. I've heard there was some controversy about how these types of things should be done and where, but the fact is that as for now it's the only way to do it (that actually works and is here). Can we please have these issues resolved so that this functionality can be added to the base system? Thanks a lot!
