What I want to achieve is to only announce a carp interface if it is in the master state. Otherwise ignore it. Hopefully someone else is in the master state and do the announcement in that case.
We do this by rewriting the bird configuration file from the ucarp up/down scripts, and reloading, which is pretty efficient. Often you want to announce the slave interface with a lower priority (rather than not announce it at all), as if the master route disappears you want traffic to immediately switch over, not wait for a slave announcement. -- Alex Bligh
