XORP is control plane software. To change in-flight forwarded datagrams 
you need to go to the forwarding plane. So no, XORP cannot do this for 
you. You could take a look at the firewall support, that may help, if 
whichever method you choose to do this needs to be integrated with XORP 
in your deployment for some reason.
