    I was looking at the ifconfig output and it certainly could be parsed
    for the CARP status I suppose, but it just seemed a little crude and I
    wanted to make sure I was not missing something more obvious. Do you
    know if the CARP interface is up, available, and stable by the time
    /usr/local/etc/rc.d scripts are run?

    Thanks,
    Matthew
