Just to follow up on this. There does appear to be something weird about the dc's I'm using. I replaced the quad card with 4 xl's (junk I know) and CARP works a charm. I had noticed before that just connecting a cable to these znyx dc's wasn't enough to get the link light to go on, and the dc man page mentions that connects and disconnects can't be reliably detected. I guess it's all related somehow. Anyway, just beware of using (some) dc cards in CARP setups. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
