Also if you're setting up in a virtual environment keep in mind that it requires promiscuous mode enabled.
This stopped the show for me once when setting up two OpenBSD load balancers in a shared virtual environment. I was told that to enable promiscuous mode on a single port group they would also have to enable it on the physical ESX host adapter for each ESX host since the pair was separated on different physical hosts.
If that is true then I would never enable it. However networking isn't my strong side so I can't verify this.
