Well, the good news is that I have a change under test that will address
your needs, allowing a host or set of hosts to be generally accessible
from the Smack system. The bad news is that it uses a set of netlabel
apis that are not going to get released in favor of a redesigned set of
apis which are not available yet. The good news is that those apis will
handle Smack's needs just fine, but again the bad news is that I don't
have them to use yet.

If you're up to trying out something that you know is going to get
rewhacked before it goes in anywhere let me know.
