- LAN on eth0: #Kea #DHCP serving internal hosts
- WAN on eth0.3: DHCP client talking to ISP

Kea: „I don't care about VLAN tagging, give me all your packets for my raw socket. By the way, how about using this nice internal LAN address for my hosts WAN interface?“

At least the issue has recently been closed (after six years). Now waiting for an updated package to arrive. Or an alternative - whatever comes first. Any recommendations apart from dnsmasq?

Searching the internet for #CARP, many sites recommend using a password length of 30 characters. #FreeBSD silently truncates it to 19. The Debian manpage of #ucarp claims to support 20 characters, but refuses to run given more than 19.

So why exactly 19 characters? 20 is the size of SHA-1 hashes and a comment in ip_carp.h suggests that CARP is supposed to use such a hash derived from a password. However, actual implementations treat it as a null-terminated string.
