Hey Steve,

Thanks for the test. Yes it is possible to store the local address, we
already do ... its just not exposed to the exclusion lists. I will have a
talk to Christian regards this.

In the underlying kernel driver it already tracks the tcp connection state.
It works but there is a few *nasty* bugs which I've been trying to work on
for the past week. We can certainly expose this state once its properly
working. Once again I will have to have a chat to Christian to see if he
wants this.

Cheers,
Ramon.
