I have no personal knowledge of "blacklistd"; however, it seems that there
should be a way of using "blacklistctl dump" in conjunction with "sed" or
perhaps "awk" to create a list that could then be fed to "ipfw".

If you could send me the output of a "blacklistctl dump -bn", I could take a
look at it for you.
