Hi,

I have been unsuccessful in finding an answer to this using Google. Maybe someone here knows the answer.

With PF (the firewall solution) you can create a table of addresses which can be updates/refreshed without restarting PF.

For PF you would have something like this in /etc/pf.rules

table <blocked> persist file "/etc/pf.blocked"

And then you you could update the /etc/pf.blocked file at any time, and refresh pf like so:

pfctl -t blocked -T replace -f /etc/pf.blocked

Is this possible with the IPfilter firewall as well?
