[Fixed] Deleting CARP Virtual IPs "still referenced by at least one Gateway."?

[cmcdonald]

It's late at night and I'm probably over looking something dumb…

I'm working on doing some reconfiguration of my setup and want to delete a CARP Virtual IP. This is a WAN IP that is within my /29 block from my ISP. My NAT configuration is been set back to translate to the WAN address (instead of the CARP VIP).

I know I've delete CARP VIPs before... But for some reason I'm getting this message:

"This entry cannot be deleted because it is still referenced by at least one Gateway."

Edit: Okay, it appears this functionality was added here:

http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2962

This is kind of annoying... I can't just delete the gateway and kill my WAN connection to my boxes... This explains why I could do this on 2.0.3 before i upgraded to 2.1 within the last month or so. The new code definitely needs some modification. I should be able to delete a VIP that isn't used by anything that also happens to sit inside the subnet of my WAN gateway.

I have just updated to the latest build (2.1-RC0 (i386) built on Tue Jul 9 23:03:10 EDT 2013" but still see
this problem when trying to remove "IP Alias" entries.

I get "This entry cannot be deleted because it is still referenced by at least one Gateway." when trying
to remove one IP Alias.   (I only have one primary IP defined in the WAN-interface .51 at end
and one VirtualIP "IP Alias"with .53 at the end. Is in same subnet as primary IP.

The "IP Alias" was created in an earlier build from June.

I was only doing some tests for a colleague and need to undefine the IP Alias as this IP
is normally used in another router and is temporary disconnected so I could do the test.
As long as this IP is now tied to pfSense it will answer ARPs and I will get an IP collision.
