Right... what Roy said. Just use YOUR_STACK rather than CORE_IN and
CORE_OUT. That should do the trick nicely.
Of course, how we select the right bottom filter is still hard-coded
(similar to IOL selection, I would believe). However, we at least have a
*name* attached to that bottom filter now (unlike IOLs). It would be
feasible to do something like:
<VirtualHost IP:PORT>
NetworkFilters MINE_IN MINE_OUT
</VirtualHost>
The default, of course, is CORE_IN and CORE_OUT. The code that inserts the
CORE filters would just look at the configuration directives and install
whatever it was told.
