I'm thinking about doing transparent proxying for the protocols, but I want to see how well the packet-patching version run first. As it is, it is (hopefully) right in 99% of the cases, and it scales well. If I get reports of real-life problems I'll make it a priority to make proxies, but not before. (And the packet-patchers will still be an option - for most people, they probably are a better or as good solution.) Eivind Eklund / perhaps@yes.no / http://maybe.yes.no/perhaps/
