[c-nsp] ISG and HTTP redirection

[Aleksey V Fedorov]

I just say that ISG L4redirect feature is not scalable on 10K now.
500 sessions was test configuration for L4redirect testing.
For "Permanent" I meant that redirection is always turned on for session,
for example by applying 
Cisco-AVPair = "ip:l4redirect=redirect list NNN to ip xx.xx.xx.xx"
to user profile.
