Reliable lan service

[Todd T. Fries]

I guess some of you have not heard of OpenBSD yet then.

$ ifconfig carp1
carp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        description: dmz
        carp: MASTER carpdev ne3 vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 10
        inet X.X.X.X netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast X.X.X.X
        inet6 2001:XXXX:XXXX::1 prefixlen 64
$

Note:

HISTORY
     The carp device first appeared in OpenBSD 3.5.

(which means 1year ago or so).
