| I'm trying to run freevrrpd on a server with two interfaces for
| redundancy. I want them both to act as one IP in a master/slave setup. 
| Here's the errors I'm getting:

|
| Here's my config:
|
| [VRID]
| serverid = 10
| interface = fxp0
| priority = 255
| addr = a.b.c.131/26
| password = test
|
| [VRID]
| serverid = 10
| interface = fxp1
| priority = 254
| addr = a.b.c.131/26
| password = test
|
| And in rc.conf:
|
| ifconfig_fxp0="inet a.b.c.186 netmask 255.255.255.192"
| ifconfig_fxp1="inet a.b.c.187 netmask 255.255.255.192"
|
| TIA,
|

Ni Bryce,

Try setting the mask on the VIP to /32 instead of /26.  IIRC, an alias 
address must have a /32 mask, as the routing table already has an entry for 
a.b.c.128/26 (in your case), which is why it is rejecting the VIP address 
assignment.
