Ok, this patch needs more work, I guess.

According to Chad Hanson (on IRC) the kernel reorders by netmask, which will not work with this patch.
If this is the case, then this problem is equivalent to the issue with ports - namely, the strategy to replace exact key match, and prepend everything else in front does not work, and creates problems. The code needs to be smarter on updates - needs to edit port ranges and nodecon entries that are overridden locally, and make the appropriate changes.

Other comments by Chad:
- no preference on byte order - should probably follow policy convention (network byte order?)
- byte arrays are better than integer ones
