+ifconfig_re0_alias0="inet vhid 1 advskew 100 pass testpass alias 192.168.1.138/32"
```
Whereas:
* `vhid 1`: Virtual Host ID - must match on all CARP members
+* `advskew`: Advertisement skew - higher value means lower priority (f1 uses 100, f0 uses default 0)
* `pass testpass`: Password for CARP authentication (if you follow this, use a different password!)
* `alias 192.168.1.138/32`: The virtual IP address with a /32 netmask
