I mentioned that we don't have enough time, and so it was - apologies for
not looking into this more quickly.

We discussed this today, and while the code is good enough, it needs to
satisfy the "why is this needed?" requirement - could you explain a bit
better what this would be used for?

(The drawback of this patch is that it needs maintenance if we add
new options, like "--redirect-gateway ipv6" - David suggested that we
add a global mapping table for that, and I wonder if the actual use
case warrants the extra maintenance effort...)
