Hi!

Did you take a look at the events used in nf_conntrack?
I had a similar problem and I solved it that way. You may have to define 
a new event (in ip_conntrack.h), or may not, I don't remember if it's 
already included. if you have to use a new event, you can send it with 
the ip_conntrack_cache_event() function.
