Ahh, maybe I should do one of those too.. :)

Actually what I would have liked, was one function ptr, that one could
grap, and redirect, eventually chain to what was there before, plus maybe
some kind of registering functionality. THat way firewall, NAT, divert
whatever code could have been kept out of the ip files.
But the gods intended it differently :(, or could we now get to
some higher level agreement on how to do this, or should we just
go our own ways (as usual)..
