     Do we know whether or not CARP violates Cisco's patent?  I.e. is
bringing CARP in a wise idea?  We should probably just implement VRRP
as it is the standard and Cisco has said they will allow people
implementing it to use their patent.  A different protocol, such as
CARP, may get us into trouble.
