Thanks for the response.

Assuming the user-space connection tracking thing pans out, it sounds
like there isn't much possibility of this making it upstream.

I'd still like to get it the module finished up.  It's a useful learning
exercise, and I think it could be useful for anyone who stays on an
older kernel, "enterprise" distribution users for example.

I would *really* appreciate some feedback on the various questions that
I've posed in this thread.

Thanks!
