Theo Schlossnagle has started a new project to manage shared IP addresses,
but the one thing it doesn't have is moving all IPs as a group. ie, if LAN
goes down, it wouldn't move WAN also. however, I'm sure that kind of
feature could be added in. i don't know if it is suitable to be adding
node.js to the firewall device.
