sounds good...pretty good idea and everything.  not very efficient tho, being as it's just almost as
effective as spoofing the packets and sending them directly to the host.  Either way you're going
to need a fast connection to toss them out to the dsl ips.  The only difference here is that your
network isn't getting the replies, and the destination gets packets with 2x the size( i think ).  On
dedicated links where the inbound and outbound are on physically different links, this wouldn't
make much difference.  But anywayz, still a good idea;)
