Not hard at all. Supposing you started a forward request via:

   manager.forward_local( 12345, '1.2.3.4', 1122 )

Then, when you want to change the address that is being forwarded to:

   manager.cancel_forward_local( 12345, '1.2.3.4', 1122 )
   manager.forward_local( 12345, '1.2.3.5', 1122)

And away you go!

Someday all of this will be properly documented. In the meantime, the 
methods themselves have been commented--just run rdoc on the sources and 
you'll get a nice document. Once I'm out of the 0.0.x series, I'll sit 
down and write a users guide for all this stuff. In the meantime, the 
API is almost guaranteed to change before then...

You're welcome!
