I am on travel for a couple of weeks, so I may try and get a start on
this while at airports or on planes.

Tables are very useful for allowing an IDS set up blocks on the
fly. Right now I am limited to a new rule for every block and that is
not very portable (since I don't want to step on existing rules) and
very messy since, except for the address, all of the rules are
identical.

I'm using tables right now for V4, but I really need to have v6 support
soon. I'm just not real sure what 'soon' is. I hope it's different from
yours.
