hmm... with lagg you have two (or more) phisical connections sharing the 
same ip, with carp you will have two (or more) servers sharing the same ip.

i think lagg will not help.

i would like to give a try on carp ip balance, but i dont have the time for 
now. i also like to known if someone else is working on this.
