[Bug 281811] carp documentation suggests /32 netmask, but man-page suggests same as host-interface

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281811 --- Comment #3 from pprocacci@gmail.com --- As a follow-up, the only distinction that I can think of is if the VIP is used exclusively on the interface. In that case it *should* be what network to which it belongs so FBSD knows where the packets needs to go. In the event it's added where the network is already defined and an ip already assigned within a given net (i.e. adding it as an alias), it needs to be a /32. Maybe I'm wrong but this makes the most sense and I think it's in FBSD's best interest to make this distinction. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
