I tried that but as I am not a seasoned kernel hacker introducing a new
sysctl including the validation of an IPv4 address was a bit too much.
Instead I created this patch (applicable against kernel version 3.2):

It currently works in my testbed (Debian wheezy based, therefor kernel 3.2).
Maybe there is someone more experienced with introducing new sysctl
files and handling strings in kernel space than me that is able to
pick up this idea and implement it properly.
