CARP is described in this misc@ post from McBride. Pretty cool stuff I'll have to start playing with. Well done, guys!

the simple solution is to assign a primary ip to each server, and have a second ip shared between them. ssh to the primary ip's of each server which will not change.

Another reason for ordering the next CD-set as well.
The 3.4-set you got contains a very good piece of software.
Stick with it. And upgrade to -current or 3.5 when it's done.

This is nothing new... Every release has several cool new features, and the next release will have more.

I read in an interview with Theo that the month after a release is an orgy of adding new features. They basically do a feature freeze for the last few months before a release, so there's a lot of stuff waiting to be let in. We're going to be seeing a lot of this stuff.

I just wished it came before the CD arrived.
I buy the CD to support the proj. I'll buy next one even if CARP is not included.
To OBSD team: Thank you for OBSD.

For quite a number of releases now I've been following the OBSD release cycle and following misc@. I've watch the flame wars about various topics, W^X, advisorise for SSL, etc...
I ordered my first cd set a couple weeks back.
I just wanted to say that there are those of us who appreciate all the work that the whole OBSD crew does to put out releases.
There _are_ ppl out there who don't give a fuck about what gets said. There is a consistency with the OBSD project that simply can't be beat.
I said it in the comments when ordered my cd, and I feel the need to say it again.
Thank you for doing what you do best. You just keep getting the job done. There are those of out there who appreciate it. The flame wars don't make a difference to what we think. Life it to short to get upset with what the trolls say.
No, we don't all commit patches. No we don't all submit bug reports. But ya know what... it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, we still support the cause by buying CD's.
Thankyou for the consistency.
Sincerly,
1 of many simple end users
