I saw in the past requests for adding carp in standard kernel.
As of today, is there any chance to have it in kernel, as loadable module?
It would semplify a lot usage of freebsd-ipdate, instead of rebuilduing
a custom kernel each time.
Thanks,
Tonino

CARP cannot be loadable, ok, but why cannot be included in standard kernel? The same for AltQ, IPFW, PF, or other features widely used. The most of ISP like me using FreeBSD will use at least one of these features, so we are excluded from freebsd-update.
