My complete list has about 300K of lines. It takes about a few hours just to load the rules. Will it be faster to load using the table?

Yes; it's a little convoluted but should work. You want to drop incoming packets from the listed IP ranges, and return a "host unreachable" to internal machines sending outgoing packets to the listed IP ranges? Wouldn't it be easier to use ipfw's table feature and have something like this: add table 1 3.0.0.0/8 add table 1 4.0.25.146/31 add table 1 4.0.25.148/32 [...] add table 1 4.18.37.16/28 add table 1 4.18.37.128/25 add 2300 deny ip from table 1 to any add 2400 reject ip from any to table 1 That way you only have two ipfw rules, both of which use a single table lookup. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
