carp configuration
hi,
im trying to experement with carp for the first time and not finding many resources on it, was hoping somebody on here might be able to tell me what to do. firstly what i want to do is very basic, i will describe my set up. client | | switch | | | | ROU ROU | | | | Switch | | Client ROU= router the routers are both identical computers (two network cards in each) running openBSD. all that i am wanting to do is send packets (ping) from one client to the other. pull the cable from my default router. so that fail overtakes place and i keep on receving ping comfromation. if anybody would be able to tell me how to configure that i would be so thankfull and forever in their debt!!!! thanks |

The following link does not mirror your configuration, but shows carp in action as I use it at work for redundant caching-only DNS servers-
http://openbsd-wiki.org/index.php?ti...nt_caching-DNS If anyone asks, "Why would CARP be needed for DNS resolver redundancy?" then they haven't waited while their computer times out on the first failed DNS server (the primary) before attempting the secondary server. With CARP, the primary is "always on" even when taken down for maintenance. And if users think they're clever by reversing the primary and secondary resolvers in their machine configurations... well, the secondary is CARP'd as well.
