To fling ideas around with callus disregard:
You could cache the datagram and watch for matches
on outbound interfaces in order to capture the outbound
MAC address. Then a table lookup would suffice to get
the outbound interface name. You should know ahead of
time which datagrams will route out, so need cache only
those. With tcp you don't need the whole
datagram to match, just the source/dest quad and the
sequence number.
This approach sounds like good enough of an idea to
be a bad idea, but maybe it'll spark a good idea
in someone.
