Hi, Paul,
It's good to see your message.
Your 'netfilter' idea is terrific. I have a vision that the
masq/NAT/portforwarding/virtualserver should be merged together,
you can see my another project (NAT over masq) at
http://proxy.iinchina.net/~wensong/ipnat/.
However, I haven't got so far as you have done, you have been merging
all the things (masq/NAT/redirect/load-sharing/firewalling) together.
I am very interested in your project. What is the URL of your project,
I want to have a look at it and learn new things from it, and maybe
we can cooperate on both the projects, because there are similarities,
the masq/NAT/portforwarding/virtualserver has the same meaning as the
masq/NAT/redirect/load-sharing.
Have a good day,
Wensong
