If i understand it correctly, CARP is implemented in a way that create a new virtual iface, which depends on some real iface, which may or may not have an IP address, while VRRP implementations on Linux just add or remove shared IP address on already existing iface. Is that true? So these VRRP interfaces probably would not need anything like this.
I think that may depend which carp. ucarp on Linux doesn't. It simply runs a usermode check over one interface, selects a preferred interface, and calls scripts which can do stuff (including up/down other interfaces). There is no additional virtual interface per se. -- Alex Bligh
