    Assume I have two computers hooked up via Ethernet and via Firewire
    (if_fwe). Will this commit allow me to place all four IP addresses of
    the interfaces into the same subnet and have FreeBSD re-route the
    packets through Firewire if the Ethernet link goes down (or vice versa)?

    Or do I need to go CARP for this to work?
