Problem with the failover process when a single interface fails

[supercm]

Hopefully this is just a newbie error as it doesnt seem like im doing it right.

I set up CARP with my LAN connection (And each of my VLAN connections) as well as my 3 WAN connections.

Everything syncs and the status looks right.

If i remove a connection from one machine, it drops 1 ping and then transitions to the other machine and resumes pinging. The problem is that some of the VIPs are sitting on each node and services dont work so I cant actually do dns lookups for example. I have the checkbox for disable preempt off on both nodes and set up the outbound NAT rules as well. Is there something else that I am missing?
