FWIW, textual diagrams need to be wrapped in [code] / [/code] tags to preserve spacing.

As for your question, I am only aware of four sources of information on CARP configuration:

• the carp(4) manpage.
• Section 6.11 of the FAQ:
  
  http://openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#CARP
• Hansteen's The Book of PF:
  
  http://www.amazon.com/Book-PF-No-Non...9812157&sr=8-1
• A nominal overview can be found in McBride's overview:
  
  http://www.countersiege.com/doc/pfsync-carp/

Of these four, I would suggest starting with the FAQ, followed by studying the manpage. If you are still needing more information, Hansteen's book walks through a simple fail-over configuration.
