Of course, I've interest in any external support, because I need to
finish my degree project and I'm a bit busy. Any help are welcome and
please feel free to re-work the patch. Just like the really the most
important thing is the *modip*, I'm happy that you work within this idea.
I'd like to see *modip* committed.

I continue to my research and if I've some time to work with ipfw or
another mechanism that have some relation with my project degree, I'll make.

Best Regards,
