John,
This sort of feature could be easily added into a NAS, but I
question your implementation details. If this filter was turned on by
default, then this could "break" other types of services which may
require source ip addresses other than the one which was negotiated to
the user.
This would mean that a customer could perform a flash upgrade and
find that their service no longer operates (a technical support
nightmare). Would you be willing to consider such a feature where it
would have to be enabled (and is disabled by default) and a very well
explained document with the release notes to service providers
advising them of the risk of not enabling this switch??
