hi

 i run here an similar setup with stable 3.8 on 2 dell 850 systems

i setup the bridge just with stp on both interfaces an decrease the
priority of the bridge on the master system one less the the priority on
the switch an 2 less at the slave.

i had since the first setup trouble but is gone if i diesable the
balance feature from carp
( maybe this feature together with an bridge setup is no really
functional or the is an bug. )

the link from the isp comes from an cisco catalyst switch with stp

please check your switch where you put the firewall together with the
uplink from isp.

i think it is necessary that this switch speak stp.
