It's possible to populate the table after network initialized and all
other cervices are up. Just place empty table
table <goodguys> persist
in your pf.conf and
pfctl -t goodguys -T add \
something.somewhere.com \
somethingelse.somewhere.com \
xxx.yyy.zzz.qqq &
into your /etc/rc.local, so pf will start up without delays.
