It was always impossible to do that. The patches you are talking about actually make it quite a bit cleaner for you to insert your filters above the CORE filters however, because now there is no way for somebody else to use the socket that was a part conn_rec. The other advantage to that patch is that if you want to insert filters based on where the connection came from, you can. Those patches were meant to allow different bottom-level filters based on the type of socket used, not based on vhost config. Ryan
