  Description     : Userspace daemon for the Netfilter's Connection Tracking System

 From the homepage:
 ---snip---
 Conntrackd is the userspace daemon for the Netfilter's Connection Tracking System.
 This daemon maintains a copy of the Connection Tracking System in userspace.
 It is entirely written in C and is highly configurable and easily extensible.
 Currently it covers the specific aspects of Stateful Linux firewalls to enable 
 high availability solutions and can be used as statistics collector of the firewall use.
 ---snip---

 I´m using the conntrackd daemon for several months now in conjunction with heartbeat
 to provide high available linux firewalls and it works great.

 It´s an "easy-to-use solution" for syncing the netfilter connection tracking tables
 between linux machines. No kernel patch is required!

 Conntrackd Depends on libnfnetlink1 and libnetfilter-conntrack1 which are allready
 in Debian but maybe need an update.
