branch ipfilter

[rzo]

Hello,

what is the state of this branch ? when will this be merged into trunk ?
within my patch netty-242 i have implemented something similar which 
works with string patterns instead of CIDR.
I think that string patterns are easier to understand and allows to 
filter by host name.

I propose that we merge the implementations.

IpFilterHandler checks the ip at CONNECT. Within my implementation the 
check is done during OPEN, which happens before CONNECT.

Why do you think that CONNECT is a better "place" to do the check ?
