CARP implementation questions

First, I have a question regarding load balancing. From reading the
description on how to configure arpbalance with CARP, I get the
impression that it's an all or nothing proposition. Is that really the
case? I have a project where I will need to enable CARP on a pair of
multi-interface firewall/routers. Some of the connected networks make
sense for arpbalance. If I turn it on, am I required to have a pair of
carp interfaces configured for each physical interface? Can I use dual
vhid's for some networks and single vhid's for others?
Second, I'd like to know if anyone has set up CARP alongside a routing
daemon of some sort (zebra, quagga, etc). I'm particularly interested
in how the daemons handle things like OSPF/RIP updates. I should
obviously be trying to set the gateway to the CARP address, but I'm not
sure that's the easiest thing to do. Has anyone looked into this yet?
