While we are at it, might I suggest one more "nice" thing...

For several of my projects I reduced configuring a gateway/nat/firewall to 
just stuffing hostipnrs:ports into some shell variables. eg:

firewall_forward_services="192.168.10.0/24^22 192.168.10.74^873 
192.168.10.74^1195 192.168.10.66^80 192.168.10.117^10000 192.168.10.67^45457 
2001:4cb8:3::67^45457 192.168.10.116^sip 192.168.10.113^sip"

And I used to do that with the "std"-notation host:port.
But once I got ipv6 connected, that no longer worked. And I also found that 
the ipv6 parser did some wierd stuff on other places as well.

Is it posible to fix the ipv6nr parser and have it also recognise the 
versions: [a:b:c::d:e] and [a:b:c::d:e/64] (like firefox does)

Yes, I know the stanza is: put your code where your mouth is. And I've been 
trying to find time to do this, and given enough days time will pop up.
But this discussion is already running and people are already breaking up 
the code.

Thanx,
