[LARTC] IMQ + natin PREROUTING - it is almost 2 years since patch....

[pljosh]

Hello there!
I was reading this archive:
http://mailman.ds9a.nl/pipermail/lartc/2002q3/004725.html

It was almost two years ago when Patrick wrote a patch to switch IMQ 
with nat in PREROUTING chain...

 From www.linuximq.org I've downloaded newset IMQ driver for 2.4.26 and 
what can i see? The line that Patrick changed in that patch is still as 
it was in previous relases.

Are there some side-effects or something that this patch wasent applied 
to "official" imq?

In fact we've being discussing lately at linuximq.net mailling list this 
subject and what would be the best way to enable this "behavior" change 
"automatically".

There is no problem on changing where IMQ hooks, after or before NAT for 
example, not that we found until now.

The matter is what should be done to enable the selection of behaviors 
without needing to apply a patch or change the code itself. For IMQ as 
module I've thought about passing a parameter, but if it is compiled in 
the kernel what could be the way? Something in the /proc???

It should be possible to select from 4 diferent situations:

     PREROUTING         POSTROUTING
-------------------------------------
  1  IMQ after NAT      IMQ after NAT
  2  IMQ before NAT     IMQ after NAT
  3  IMQ after NAT      IMQ before NAT
  4  IMQ before NAT     IMQ before NAT

Any ideas are welcome.

tks

Andre
