I have tried to search around a bit before asking this newb question but
here goes:

I have a ruleset that I would like to remain unchanged /etc/opt/ipf/ipf.conf

I would like to add new rules to it on the fly such as

block in quick from <bad web hacker ip>/32 to any

from the command line.  The reason I do not want to add to the ipf.conf
file is so that every 2 or so days a cron will restart the ipfboot and
only load my original ipf.conf file.  This will:
a) not may my ruleset get so big (lot's of bad web hacker ips!)
b) allow me to block the original hacker for long enough to thwart the attack

Any help would be appreciated as I do not seem to be able to add just a
single rule on the fly.  I am using 4.1.3
