      I have configured CARP for pfSense redundancy on two locations and they work OK (pfS 1.2). On this 2 locations setup is simple without VLAN's.
      Now I have need for VLAN's + CARP. On this location pfS is working for 1 year with some minor (and some not so minor) problems. Now customer is asking for redundancy. I added another server (intel server 1U 4 eth ports) and folowed same procedure as I have before but all ended messed up. I have been forced to go back to single pfS system.

      Setup is such that I have one WAN interface, one internal with 9 VLAN's, one DMZ int bridged to WAN and one int for SYNC. When I deploy CARP, bridge traffic is interrupted, some addresses are unreachable (in DMZ) and sometime DMZ is totally dead. Rules sync doesn't work at all.

      This are some messages from syslog:

      Please advice.
