The main problem would be that the AX25, IP and TCP headers together would present significant overhead compared to running D-RATS directly on top of KISS, but it would allow for greater flexibility.

Yes, I suppose the ref.d-rats.com ratflector would be fine :-)  It might make sense to run a separate ratflector on AMPRnet if you wanted to keep the traffic purely on AMPRnet, and prevent connections from the public Internet (eg. via tcp wrappers), but I'm not sure how much value there would be in that.
