Oustanding.  Thank you!  I really appreciate the pointer to bring me up
to speed on the history.  It sounds like Mikael and I share a similar
desire and rationale for why such a thing would be useful.

Your comment regarding the tcp hash table scanning is what I was
planning to code up, though it sounds like some amount of effort was
made in this attempt and abandoned.  Would you happen to know where any
out-of-kernel code related to this might be parked if one wanted to
continue this effort?

I do agree with Mikael that offloading this from the kernel to some kind
of connection manager would be ideal.  I'll ponder this some more....

Again, many thanks for the help.

Chris
