I am on travel for a couple of weeks, so I may try and get a start on this while at airports or on planes. Tables are very useful for allowing an IDS set up blocks on the fly. Right now I am limited to a new rule for every block and that is not very portable (since I don't want to step on existing rules) and very messy since, except for the address, all of the rules are identical. I'm using tables right now for V4, but I really need to have v6 support soon. I'm just not real sure what 'soon' is. I hope it's different from yours. -- R.
