Excellent!  Just what I was looking for.  I am installing 4.20; but
I didn't notice that bit of additional functionality.  (I expect I
would have noticed when I finished converting the routers from the
old config and started on the ACLs, exiscan, and other stuff that
wasn't in 3.22.  The documentation has gotten too big to just read
all the way through before trying anything.  At least for updates...)
