Nice.
What be even nicer (wink, wink) is to be able to generate events when
these values change. Thomas and I once had long discussions on that
topic. It could be as primitive as a select()/poll() kicking in
when /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default changes.
BTW, the fact select() doesnt kick at all (been a while since i last
tried) is something that seems to be a bug.
