Hi,

The following command could be loaded via cron with the "monthly"
crontask, or via some other script (assuming blacklist table is
"GeoList" and you are using the default pf.conf)

pfctl -t hotlist -T flush -Tl -f /etc/pf.conf

Thanks for your help this really great!, you made my day :)

I was also surfing the net and found this interesting Debian HOWTO
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/518

Another question, how about the update per month? do I need to kill pf
and run it again? or a crontab would do the trick and update the IPs?
