very useful. The only drawback is the overhead that this (and basically
everything using the divert socket) has: packets move to user space and
back, something you don't want to do on high-speed traffic.

For a less flexible (at the moment) but much more efficient approach to
this kind of problems, have a look also at my dummynet stuff (available
from http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi).
