What I want to say is that if I have an established TCP connection (as in an
integral "socket"), that I want to drop an encryption layer on top of it.
direct_tcp would be good wouldn't it be that you need an established
session, for which you do need to be authenticated...
Also direct_tcp requests a host/port combination... And I would layer it on
top of an existing socket.

Maybe though I'll have a look at it.
