Thanks.
I'll look into other ways of getting the list blocked then.

I would like to add in a blacklist from lists of known bad IPs/Domains

I add the list into the /etc/shorewall/blacklist file and then either
restart or refresh shorewall, but it never finishes.
When I look at iptables while shorewall is starting I see a number of
rules added, but then I see a number of rules added for dropping from
the opendns fail servers (hit-nxdomain.opendns.com and
hit-servfail.opendns.com).
I assume these are from it doing lookups on domains that are no longer
there since the list was compiled, so it ends up adding rules blocking
those, which then seems to halt the list processing shortly thereafter.FA

Placing DNS names in the Shorewall config files is a really bad idea.
See http://www.shorewall.net/co.nfiguration_file_basics.htm#dnsnames

I tried adding ACCEPT rules in for the ip ranges and domain names for
the opendns servers but it didn't make a difference (apparently the
blacklist processing overrides the rules in the rules file?).

Yes.


Is there anything I can do short of pre-processing the lists to filter
out the no-longer-there domains?

My advice is to not use Shorewall to filter by DNS name.
