Subject: [midcom] very simple midcom-type protocol

We have submitted an Internet draft on the Simple NAT and
Firewall Control (SNFC) protocol. Until it is available
at the I-D repository, you can find it at
http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/~quittek/draft-stiemerling-nat-fw-config-00.txt

We will implement the SNFC protocol for the SOCKS firewall
software.

Our intention is to contribute to the current discussion on
midcom requirements by emphasizing the principle of KISS.

We are aware of the fact that SNFC does not meet all
requirements currently under discussion. However, we believe
that also a simple approach like ours can be very useful
in many situations where middlebox control is desired.
