LOOKUP TABLES
Lookup tables are useful to handle large sparse address sets, typically
from a hundred to several thousands of entries. There could be 128
dif- ferent lookup tables, numbered 0 to 127.
Each entry is represented by an addr[/masklen] and will match all
addresses with base addr (specified as a dotted quad or a hostname) and
mask width of masklen bits. If masklen is not specified, it defaults
to 32. When looking up an IP address in a table, the most specific
entry will match. Associated with each entry is a 32-bit unsigned
value, which can optionally be checked by a rule matching code. When
adding an entry, if value is not specified, it defaults to 0.
An entry can be added to a table (add), removed from a table (delete),
a table can be examined (list) or flushed (flush).
Internally, each table is stored in a Radix tree, the same way as the
routing table (see route(4)).
,
and here is an example:
${fwcmd} table 0 add 82.77.156.42
${fwcmd} add deny all from table\(0\) to any via ${oif}
${fwcmd} add deny all from any to table\(0\) via ${oif}
# I know, second rule, .... it's paranoic
To set the table you could use a file /etc/badboys
and a short shell script executed before the table denying rules:
for i in `cat /etc/badboys`; do ${fwcmd} table 0 add $i; done;
