Hello! Many of the answerer, like this, seam to have mainly
TCP in mind. I once tried "reflection" with ip-filter for
an UDP "connection" - and failed... The scenario was some
Digium IAX2 ATAs, analog telephone adapters, connected to an
Asterisk server. These things can only be provisioned with a
static server IP number and cannot easily be reprogrammed in
the field. This solution would have given some flexibility
with server placement and load distribution.
The only thing I want to say, is that there might be more
interesting cases for a general solution, not only for TCP.
