      Hi Guys

      I'm looking at using PFSense in a CARP setup.

      I currently have a /27 subnet routed to me. I'm using monowall at the moment, and I have this /27 subnet on one of my OPT interfaces. I also have a LAN interface.

      Can I use CARP and still have this /27 routed to me?

      Do I simply use 3 of the /27 IP addresses to do the CARP setup?

      For example:

      PFSense Master - OPT1 Interface = xxx.xxx.129.2/27
      PFSense Backup - OPT1 Interface = xxx.xxx.129.3/27
      CARP VIP = xxx.xxx.129.1/27

      And then the CARP VIP becomes the Default Route for my server? Have I got this right?

      Thanks
