I took a look at nocat and it really seems to do almost the things I'm looking for *g* Thank you.
But I have a recommendation / question: Wouldn't it be possible to also check the MAC of clients on the net? This way we could make IP- hijacking (as written in the nocat-whitepaper) a lot harder I think. Unfortunately I don't know if this is possible with something like iptables - since mac-addresses work on a different (lower) layer.
