    Hi,
     
     I have 2 machines running freebsd 6.0 compiled with "device carp". The example in the carp manual slightly confuses me. I can't make those 2 machines to appear as one... I hope you can help me.
     machine A has xl0 with assigned ip of 10.10.8.145
     machine B has xl0 with assigned ip of 10.10.8.146
     
     
     Now following the example on carp(4) manual:
     On machine A:
     ifconfig carp0 create
     ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 pass mypasswd 10.10.8.147/24
     so now, machine A shows these in ifconfig:
     carp0: flags=41 mtu 1500
     inet 10.10.8.147 netmask 0xffffff00
     carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0
     meanwhile on machine B
     ifconfig carp0 create
     ifconfig carp0 vhid 1 advskew 100 pass mypasswd 10.10.8.147/24
      and I got
     10.10.8.147/24 is duplicated by xl0 (10.10.8.145/24)
     
     What I wanted to do is to do some failover... ssh to 10.10.8.147 and see what machine it would connect to.. then pull the utp out... and repeat the process.. this time i should be able to ssh to the backup server instead..
