Yeah, somewhat ... I've not done libwrap programming, but as I
understood (or more, guessed :), a program like that would do a lookup
when it starts, normally when called from inetd.  A daemon like the
current "collector" would then have to do a lookup on every packet
(which actually would be quite feasible, as it's low volume), though
it'd be easy to cache that info.  While reworking some of that, it would
be "just as easy" to convert it to tcp and maybe throw in a little
authentication.
