Todo #16322
closeddpinger can use a CARP VIP as the source IP address
100%
Description
find_interface_ip() in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc has a flush parameter, but that only seems to ignore the $interface_ip_arr_cache.
If the CARP VIP is in /var/db/{$interface}_ip when calling find_interface_ip() with flush the VIP will still be used.
I think it would make sense to add another parameter such as $ignore_cache_file to force the function to reload the current preferred address directly from the interface. This could then be set when calling the function as needed.
This issue was noticed as dpinger was monitoring on the CARP VIP instead of the interface address.

I can confirm this behavior, as I've seen the CARP VIP get "stuck" as if it's the primary interface's IP.
Marking Confirmed.

Testing this on 25.11 nightlies. I cannot reproduce the CARP VIP being used for dpinger. I've tried several ways of "breaking" it and it seems fixed.
Marking Resolved.
