This interests me. I've long been wondering how we could do that without knowing the NIC's hash and/or without having to brute-force the ports using the NIC's hash to reverse-map them. But maybe there are kernel facilities I'm not aware of to do that. If you happen to stumble upon it and share it to the mailing list, that would be great!

I haven't looked at this code in a long time! Haven't gotten to a computer and it's hard to read this on a phone, so... And I left where I wrote it, so I can't confirm if there were any substantial changes after these. My fuzzy memory is this may be all the HAProxy changes, then I focused on kernel level changes.

Many thanks! Too bad this thread was not noticed and left unresponded. I'll have a look. Thanks again!
