Danger. Possible flame bait ahead.

Given that the OP was looking for an active/active solution and thus is presumably
interested in performance as well, I wonder why you would recommend
OpenBSD's pf+carp. In the last performance comparison I read some years back
pf was almost an order of magnitude slower than iptables at the time.

We for instance run a pair of OpenBSD boxen on some old 933 GHz P3s with
4 ste/Sundance ST201-NICs each and they basically don't even manage data 
transfers at the full 100mbit/s.

Stability?
Features?
Security?

Just curious...
