I've tested a multicast traffic between VMs which worked fine to

OK, I found a secure way to test multicast communication:
(see http://www.linuxproblems.org/wiki/How_to_check_Multicasting)
# VM_A: start the receiver
VM_A# java -cp jgroups-3.3.3.Final.jar
org.jgroups.tests.McastReceiverTest -mcast_addr 231.12.21.132 -port
45566
Socket=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, bind interface=/127.0.0.1
Socket=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, bind interface=/10.1.2.3
# VM_B: start the sender, send message "test"
VM_B# java -cp jgroups-3.3.3.Final.jar org.jgroups.tests.McastSenderTest
-mcast_addr 231.12.21.132 -port 45566
Socket #1=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, ttl=32, bind interface=/127.0.0.1
Socket #2=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:45566, ttl=32, bind interface=/10.1.2.4
test
# VM_A will receive the message
test [sender=10.1.2.4:45566]
So this basically means that multicast is working. For some reason,
VRRP/CARP is NOT working. This means pfSense HA and *BSD (u)CARP is
not usable right now.
Any hint? I'm out of ideas right now.
