'Near Realtime' is an oxymoron. Either the OS is 'realtime' or its not. There is no such thing fanboy as 'near' realtime.
That so called IPC 'feature' you lovingly refer to also crashed the OS hard when any errant process decides to take a detour round the memory map of what is an unprotected OS. Passing the address of a data structure in some other process space & then inadvertantly changing it when you are not supposed to is not a good idea.

I am reminded of a quote by the philosopher Ian Kilmister.
Hypocrisy made paramount, Paranoia the law.
Legions of the morally bankrupt who can rationalise the theft of someone elses work through such self indulgent mendacity as
"Well it cost them nothing for me to download it from their website"
or
"I bet it cost them $1 to make, how dare they charge $10, I'll pirate it "
or
"Legally its not theft, its breach of copyright...."
As if that makes it alrighty then.
For a community is so vocal when it comes to screaming from the rooftops about breaches of the alleged rights contained with the GPL. Common decency & any notion of self respect would mandate that you defend the rights of others also, by paying for what you use.

> Dusty is a QUALIFIED MEMBER OF UK MILITARY
> INTELLIGENCE
Which if true, and the individual referred to is an honest to goodness UK military spook, that little nugget is going to get someones arse severely kicked.
IIRC last time I looked, To work for UK spooks, civil or military, after passing all the positive vetting procedures & signing the Official Secrets Act. The signer is prohibited by law for discussing it with anyone for the rest of ones natural life. Penalties for breech are severe and HMG takes it very seriously.
So obviously someone on "active service" as a military spook so to speak, is not likely to be opening their trap blabbing about what they do/dont do.
Now I cant say I know what a "Qualified Member" is. If OTOH "Dusty" is just a civvy with Security Clearance. Well big f*cking deal. HMG even hands those out to us shifty Irish types if they have use for the individuals skills in question.
If your site security policy is that lax, that not my problem mate.
You dont tunnel IPSEC through anything unless its explicitly allowed (specifically bidirectional 500/udp, AH, ESP, and a single or range of UDP ports if its UDP encapsulated IPSEC to work with Source NAT) in the firewall security policy. Or is that concept too complex for you ?
Asserting you can just weasel a tunnel through to the outside without the firewall noticing is nonsense.
