CARP bug?

[Klavs Klavsen]

Hi guys,

I'm testing CARP in a vmware setup, and I have found a small problem.

I need CARP to "protect" 3 addresses on the same interface (3 diff.
https sites) which are rdr'ed to backend local IPs.

I tried putting an alias on my carp0 interface, but then it just stopped
answering at all.

I then figured, I needed a carp interface for each address, but when I
do that, it doesn't automatically up the second interface.. when I
reboot, it looks like this:

carp0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.11.208 netmask 0xffff0000
        carp: MASTER vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 100
carp1: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: MASTER vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 100
carp2: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 172.16.1.8 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: MASTER vhid 3 advbase 1 advskew 100
carp3: flags=0<> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.11.210 netmask 0xffff0000
        carp: INIT vhid 4 advbase 1 advskew 100

I also tried setting carp0 and carp3 (which are on the same real
interface) to a netmask of 255.255.255.255 - but it made no difference).

It works, if I then manually up carp3, but I'm ofcourse not happy that I
need to do that.

Also - why is aliases allowed, if it just makes the interface not
respond at all?

Thank you for an otherwise great piece of software :)
