Abdullah,

unfortunately I'm unable to imagine if it's nice or really, really bad
idea to block certain countries. It sounds like a chinese wall. If the
machine in question is a web server, it might be a hardly bad idea and
would lead into another dimension of separating the world.

Anyway, if you want to replace the in-memory table with a fresh one
from disk, pfctl is your friend. Have a look at pfctl(8), especially
the parameters '-t' and '-T'. Doing a `pfctl -t mychinesewall -T
replace -f /tmp/dolistalltheworld.txt' would be enough.
