Yes - we do. You can easily filter thousands of hosts in a profile, but you 
need that 
to do with IP lists, means the filer syntax is:

ip in [ 1.2.3.4 2.3.4.5 3.4.5.6 ...] and so on.

You must not use ip 1.2.3.4 or ip 2.3.4.5 or ....

IP lists use binary search tree internally, the later are linear lists. On 
beefy 
machines the linear search is fine too for moderate number of flows - few 
millions, 
but IP lists are implemented exactly for large scale IP filtering.
