Whoa.

UDP Forwarding would be absolutely fantastic -- among other things, we'd 
be able to forward VoIP securely (something that presently requires some 
pretty hefty VPNs) -- but given the fact that a) it requires server-side 
modifications and b) a non-trivial amount of code, I didn't think it 
possible.
