Can anyone confirm whether it is possible to modify a global table within an anchor? If so, what is the proper syntax for referencing it?
I have a dynamic table of addresses to block declared and updated in the main body of pf.conf. I would like to update the same table using 'overload' operator within an anchor, however, I get "namespace collision" warning message and a distinctly separate table created when I try that. Interestingly, I can use global tables as the source or destination address in any rule inside an anchor, i.e. it does work in read-only mode (unless an anchor-local table is created per above). This firewall is currently running 5.6 with upgrade to 5.8 being planned for the near future. Thank you, -Jacob.
