      if if yes, then i should be able to use more than two firewals participating in a fail over / loadbalance scenario - right?

        Sure you can. But CARP VIPs make no sense on a non-HA firewall. You should rather use IP aliases instead.

          Yes on VIPs.

          No on this concept. This is only supported on two pfSense systems in HA.
