We don't configure Click this way. It should be possible, however. You'd
have to hack Zebra to talk to Click rather than a routing socket.

Not as yet. And beware: the 2.4 patch is experimental at the moment and may
crash your machine.

As of right now, yes. Would you like to help?

Yes, yes, and yes.
