Neither.
I just want a hot standby for a single Linux firewall, such that clients
behind it are not affected by a hardware failure on the firewall. If my
configuration would allow me to someday promote the backup and run both
firewall machines in a load-balancing configuration, so much the better.
The following example looks very much like what I want:

(Can anyone comment on whether I should stick with keepalived as
described above, or try out ucarp?)
