Hi João,

I don't know of any existing multiplexer. However, you may want to look
at the libnetfilter_queue module for Linux, which allows one to pass
packets to a user-space application (perl with Net::DNS for example) for
inspection, and return a result to the kernel to let it decide what to
do with the packet.
