Ultra-Performance UDPForwarder 3.0 
http://freshmeat.net/releases/134489/

    UDPForwarder listens on multiple ports to forward incoming UDP
    datagrams from clients to the corresponding server and forwards the
    server's response back to the client. This works 100% transparently, so
    clients think they are talking to the forwarder and the server does not
    notice the clients' real IP. It was initially designed to work as a
    transparent relay for online game traffic (static routing). It might be
    useful for hiding IPs or tricking firewalls. Its motivation and
    advantage over existing tools is its uncompromising focus on
    performance, which is crucial when dealing with hundreds and thousands
    of datagrams per second without allowing any rise in response time.

    command-line and Web-based graphical user interfaces, which give
    maximum control to a domain's owner, while relieving the system
    administrator of most routine administration tasks. Other major
    features include four levels of login, comprehensive quota control, and
    a built-in clustering ability.

GAUL 0.1846 - Now for Windows!
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=305677

    San Diego, CA, August 27, 2003 -- The GAUL project announces the latest
    release of GAUL(TM) - the Genetic Algorithm Utility Library, a leading
    open-source programming library for evolutionary computation. GAUL
    0.1846 contains significant enhancements to its features and usability.
    This is the first version to officially support the MS Windows
    environment, in addition to the prior supported UNIX and UNIX-like
    operating systems. An already impressive set of features are further
    enhanced by the new version of GAUL. Support for the MS Windows
    platform bolsters a long-time aim of the GAUL project to create a
    robust and portable framework for evolutionary algorithms. "Development
    of a native Windows version of GAUL is a major milestone," says Stewart
    Adcock, Lead Developer of the GAUL project. "Programmers requiring a
    feature-complete, but portable, framework for evolutionary computation
    now have the open-source GAUL as a viable option." GAUL is already
    applied in many important domains, including protein structure
    prediction and drug discovery. With release of this new version, GAUL
    becomes available to a larger community of research scientists and
    software developers. About GAUL: The Genetic Algorithm Utility Library
    (or, GAUL for short) is an OSI certified programming library for
    evolutionary computation. It is a copyrighted work released under the
    terms of the GNU General Public License. GAUL is deployed in several
    institutions and corporations, on hardware ranging from low-end desktop
    PCs through to top 500 supercomputers, in North America, Europe and
    Japan. Further information is available on the GAUL website at
    http://gaul.sourceforge.net.
