    Hello. Did you see my patch?

    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=92946+0+archive/2005/freebsd-net/20050116.freebsd-net

    Heartbeat signal has some advantages as compared to ioctl function. All subnet
    containing failed element (card or hub) marked as failed. Therefore packets
    sended from other hosts to host, holding failed element, wouldn't lost. Other
    advantage: now heartbeat algorithm working independently of the layer on
    which one2many operates (not only for ethernet).

    Some time ago (october 2003) I sent first version of this patch in mailing
    list and got some replies from people, using STABLE (4.X). But this patch
    could be used only for 5.X, not stable at that time. Now 5.3 is stable and
    this patch can be used for it.
