Forget all the ARP/ifconfig/heartbeat fudgery that'd be required to acheive failover on *bsd with ipf/pf -- just finding a simple way to move said state table from host to host seems interesting and challenging.
OpenBSD's pf is moving there. -current now has the pfsync pseudo- interface that exposes changes to the state table as they happen. A daemon to make use of that for said purpose is expected after the 3.3 release. 'Rumor' says, a non patent-emcumbered vrrp-like mechanism will be available as well. -Stefan -- junior guru SP666-RIPE SMP@{IRC,SILC}
