FreeVRRPd does not support IPv6 (afair). Loadbalancing is integrated into 
CARP already. CARP is in-kernel which is a matter of taste, but I prefer 
in-kernel solutions over userland deamons for things like this.

The differences set aside. CARP has the edge of active development at 
OpenBSD and direct coupling with pf.

N.B.: I didn't touch the carp stuff in a while, so I don't know if it 
works with current (or with current OpenBSD peers), but work will restart 
for sure.
