      Hi,

      i have got a problem with a CARP failover. I have got two pfsense machines that share 2 carp ip addresses, one for lan and one for dmz. If the master box fails the slave takes the ip addresses and the client(pc that uses carp lan ip as gateway) nearly dont recognize the failover.So far, so good.

      But i added an multi wan configuration with an gateway group and an firewall rule that directs all traffic to the gateway group as described in the pfsense docs. Since i have got the multiWAN configuration the carp failover cuts the network connection. A running ping on the client says:

      From [IP of the Backup pfsense] icmp_seq=46 Destination Host Unreachable

      until the ping is stopped and started again. then it routes perfect over the failover backup. It looks like the State table is not synced correctly, or did i understand something wrong?

      Regards, Felix
