RedHat has "fixed" this issue now... but as I explain there in comment
36, I don't think it's a real fix.

The key missing point, IMHO, is a functionality in ipset to atomically
replace the existing sets with new sets (the atomically is crucial here
for security reasons),... AND... that it is checked whether this
replacement actually would work or not (based on how iptables/netfilter
already uses any existing/old sets).

In other words, I want for ipset what iptables-restore does for
iptables.


This is also the reasons why my own tries to implement this in a script
have come to an end, since I think kernel support is needed for the
whole functionality.


Maybe we should add a bug asking for such functionality at the ipset
package and have this bug blocked on that bug.


Cheers,
Chris.
