No...sorry for confusing...coming from the network world
I mean with prefix a subnet (or supernet speaking in the old class-A/B/C/D/E IP 
address terms ;o)

A perfect dynamic solution would be to have an external script launched
for each connection, which can lookup if a connecting IP address falls within
a prefix (subnet) stored on pgsql databse, and if there is a match, reject the 
message.

This way I won't have to do any postmap/postfix reload on the console
but feed the database directly from an own application.


Anyway...thanks to all who supplied some great pointers and ideas :-)


cheers
