Hi, any FRR users out there???

So I have a HA setup;

1. I have successfully set up FRR BGP with MetalLB in Kubernetes. Am I right that OPNsense doesn't implement multipath, I have done a quick test to a multi pod Nginx deployment and always end up in the same instance. So I'm guessing not by default. Is it possible to recompile with this flag set? There's a old thread https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=12815.msg59351#msg59351 for a legacy version that is inconclusive, but this does sound like it is now possible on a different sense firewall....

2. With the FRR package installed the CARP 'Enter Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode' button no longer causes the master to failover to backup. Shutting down the master and the backup picks up, but forcing this no longer works. I have 'Enable CARP Failover' ticked in Routing: General. Any ideas?

Thanks people!!  :)
