Sure, but you may find that your fudging and gimmickry could be useful as a reference platform for more generic improvements. So I do encourage you (and others!) with these sorts of hackery to release your stuff for others to use and abuse. Who knows, they may get improved and included into FreeBSD at a later stage. (FWIW, companies like Ironport do just this. :) Adrian _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
