This is exactly what I need, the Country Block package was what I wanted but I need finer grained control, so an Alias to work with would do this. A quick pfctl show of the Table enumerated as expected. How does one keep an eye on this? I am confused with the update frequency versus no cron job added msg? Thanks guys! jlc
