And more to the point, ipmasqd/ipdivertd are in a good position to do it properly so some effort should be made to see what can be done to create a solution that overcomes deficincies in other existing systems. Wasting this oppotunity doesn't seem very sensible (to me). IMHO, some effort should be made to attempt to "do it properly". Maybe the "simpler" solutions could be imlpemented but they should be done so only with a clear understanding that its a temporary solution and work is being done on fixing it. (Is that a bit more constructive ?) Darren
