    'after modifcation'? what kind? simply packet header rewrites to redirect
    them? or encapsulation? or 'netsed' type stuff?
    
    RMON and tunnelX (from a recent phrack issue, alpha level code that does
    GRE encapsulation; look for 'things to do in ciscoland ...') came up in a
    recent discussion on one of these lists on this very subject. routing
    games are also possible (think centertrack).
    
    its not that hard to build something like this from libpcap and libnet.
    
    check the archives for the discussion, it was quite enlightening. tip:
    dont forward everything, rather use pcap or some other filters. the
    bandwidth hit will be noticed by almost any site if you forward all
    traffic out.
