Hi Jeff, You can opt to switch to a pre_tag_filter and tag packets basing on a filter. What matches the filter gets a certain tag and such tag is allowed through.
The beauty of this method is that the pre_tag_map can be reloaded at runtime - by switching refresh_maps to true. Still, as Karl suggested, you should script yourself a few lines to detect IP address changes at the interface, amend pre_tag_map contents and send a SIGUSR2 signal to pmacct in order to elicit the map reload.
