Read the docs/FAQ file on this parameter.  What's in there is what's known.

AFAIG, those two plugins are driven via the packet capture and are ip
address based, so they probably work.  But what's known is in docs/FAQ.
Research it and let us know for inclusion.

FWIW, I'm working on a Wiki for this stuff so users can grow the
documentation with less effort.  Let me know if anyone is interested in
being an experimental lab animal...
