CARP with two DHCP
-
Is it possible? Im trying to not use up the only 5 static IPs I can get without jumping up to a "data centre" package with my ISP (its very expensive)
If I setup each pfSense host with DHCP on the WAN, but use a static CARP VIP, will there be any issues?
I have never had an issue with 1 DHCP on the WAN and my static IPs as VIPs, regardless of the gateway.

Have a look at this thread, I think it covers a way to do what you're asking for.
