FreeVRRPd project status

[Eivind Hestnes]

Perhaps offtopic, but could be FYI:

I recently configured two FreeBSD 5.3 boxes (patched w/CARP support) to
act as one logic router (preemption) between multiple VLANs. The router
has now been in production for two weeks (under heavy load, too), and I
have not run into any problems what-so-ever. Failover is almost
transparent, and the robustness is awesome. The configuration itself is
rather minimal as everything is done in rc.conf.

If you are looking for a Open Source failover solution, CARP is probably
the best choice as it stands today.

If you need assistance with the configuration, please reply to the list,
and I will try to respond.

Best regards, Eivind Hestnes
