Unfortunately, ipf doesn't (to my knowledge, anyway) support ip lists or 
tables for rules. This means that each IP would have to be indevidually 
added as a separate rule, which may be somewhat slow. It should be 
possible, though, using a special kind of alias (which we don't 
support). It should be possible to set up a 'Host list' type alias which 
accepts a file upload of ips or hostnames (preferably ips), and then to 
write out a separate rule for each one. I'm wary of the idea, since, 
like I said, it would require a separate rule for each... at numbers 
like 850, that could seriously be a problem.
