While working on Pyun's FreeBSD-port I did think about such a project as well and (memory allocation provided [pool(9)/zone(9) or alike]) it should not be too hard to get it working on other platforms (with ipf/pfil_hooks). I started to clean up our FreeBSD port in order to make it more easy to keep up with the development in OpenBSD-Current and will keep an eye on the possiblity to include other porting efforts as well. If you are working on something, please contact me. I didn't find time to look at the NetBSD port yet, but I will try to. Max
