I have never considered it because no one asked me about it :) 
Since DeleGate has a generic function to feed a message to filter program,
that is filtering a request to a server (by FTOSV parameter) or a
response to client (by FTOCL), it can be supported outside of DeleGate.

                                         FTOSV

                 (stdin to stdout)
                   filter program

For example, usually, the FTOCL filter is realized as a local filter
program from stdin to stdout and specified as FTOCL=command.
Tentatively, it can be directed to remote TCP port with as
FTOCL=tcprelay://host:port

These generic mechanism might cause a little or significant overhead
depending on the application protocol.  It the overhead is not acceptable,
it might be necessary to support ICAP directly in DeleGate's core.

Cheers,
Yutaka
