Before I beat my head too much I was wondering in this great world of iptables if it is possible to take packets up into user space look at them, and push them back out the other ethernet port ( essentially like they never left the wire). I can see many examples of forwarding, and I can read packets into user space; but have not seen or read about anything that has packets make a stopover in user space and then back into the kernel subsequently get forwarded.
Intuition tells me this should work just fine because the kernel after getting the packet back will move on to the next rule. Thanks Art __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
