It would be useful if it had significantly better performance
than an application level gateway, and would be just as compliant
WRT the protocol. A half-baked solution useful only for opportunistic
marking, would not be good: people would try to use it in other
situations, and be surprised when they find their security compromised.
A proper implementation WRT the protocol, will need to implement
both TCP, and HTTP.
Good luck with your endeavour. We did not hear back from the last
10 people who posted the equivalent of your query.
best regards
Patrick
