Somewhat related to this thread...  Martin Kraft had the idea of using policy
routing in conjunction with iodine to help address the issue of setting up and
tearing down routes.  The basic idea being to create a separate routing table
(we could request that a label be added to the /etc/iproute2/rt_tables package
in iproute2) and then have iodine mark packets destined for the iodine server so
that they went through the table.

I just wanted to bring it up, as it might be a good mechanism to give iodine
more control over the routing table.
