First a simple daemon which listens on a tcp socket for messages which inform it to add or remove specific iptables rules. It needs to be secure, very high performance and deal with multiple concurrent requests. We currently use iptables rules, but when I get time I'm going to try out using IPSet as it seems more appropriate. Second an accounting daemon, it needs to connect to another server using a to-be-defined protocol to update the packet and byte counts, in and out per source ip address. I have proposed to my company that I send this out to the netfilter-dev list because we don't have the resource available at the moment and our dev team aren't particularly familiar with netfilter. We are obviously prepared to pay! The company is based in London although geography doesn't need to be particularly relevant. Please contact me with a brief CV, any examples of code and why you think you should do it! Clearly if these applications could be made useful to the wider community then it would be better for everyone. I hope this is an appropriate list for this request, I did check the rules! Regards Andy
