I looked into this a few weeks ago, but multihoming is problematic
since the ports need to stay stable, so the vtag needs to be used
as key. Conntrack doesn't support this currently.
A further problem are checksum updates. There are multiple
different checksumming algorithms in use, with no way of
finding out which one is used currently, all require full
recalculation.
