You might want to take a look at Marko Zec's VIPA patches that he posted to
-net a few days ago. You should be able to find it in the mailing list
archives under the subject "Patch for review: source VIPA".
If you have the time to review/test his patches, then perhaps we can get
it into a future release of FreeBSD (solving your problem with a viable
long-term solution). Thanks,
