yay.  (now go fix all the buggy scheme and lisp packages in -current :) :) :) )

It would work better still with abstraction, hence my (maybe stupid)
questions to Brian and Christian.

Even trickier: how to get non-local hosts to use them intelligently.

The DNS as a mechanism for policy-based routing (in the sense of
remotely influencing other people's path selection) is not totally
without appeal.  But then again, I'm a loon, and like NAT.
