Hi.  I'm just curious why you decided to use a table for this.  I have
done something similar (disallowing access to certain domains) using
macros as follows:

deny_sites="{ badsite.com , www.myspace.com , badsite2.com }"

and didn't notice 'slowness' at boot.  This was on a 6.3-RELEASE box,
if that matters.

Regards,
