There may very well be a way to do it, but if there is, I can't 
seem to find it, and I know of at least one other person who's 
messed with it.  Best I can tell, midentd on the gateway is going 
to be your best option.
You might find this useful as well - I wrote it up quite some 
time ago, but coupled with midentd, I think you'll have a 
workable solution.
