Hello !

I wanna add CARP IP balancing support on FreeBSD. My work is based on
the OpenBSD ip_carp.c diff of 03/18/2007, when mpf added IP balancing
support.

I already succesfully patch my freebsd to support carpdev, but mostly like
Ingo F. . Mine is just able to show iface xname under ifconfig, forcing it
doesn't work, like you said above.

Goog think is carp_input (not the old one renamed as carp_proto_input
according to OpenBSD) , because my results shown that multicast data
packets (not the CARP advs, the real packets) never appear in ether_input
on every other servers.

Several misunderstanding about the input process let me think to add a right
carp_input (who do an fresh ether_input) but it doesn't work with my code ;)
Packet just appears on one CARP interface, and never on others servers/CARP
ifaces.

I am going to test your patch, thanks for it ! Is there someone who is 
working
on IP balancing ? I'll reply here for any additional information.

Bye list !
