Bug me (igli) in #friendly-coders if you're on IRC and I'll help with it; but I'm not a network guy, so someone else will have to lead the work (i'm not that motivated basically, but it looks like an easy job-- there's always existing code fall back on, much as it pains me to read it ;) QA would need to be sorted too. *shrug* I'd do the function too, though, since it matches existing configs and you'd probably end up calling it (or a variant) in any case. Not sure how the mapping thing would fit into it (not my bailiwick) but the existing stuff I've seen so far can all be done with the function call. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me (gently, I hope ;) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
