Why not Alias in captive portal?

Hi, why we can not use alias in the captive portal rules like in the firewall. This can be usefull for allowed ips and hosts.

Because nobody has seen the need for it and noone has pushed it, yet.

Well, for example in my case i have a vpn in a box with captive portal, if i need to monitor the access points from outside i need to put a ip allowed rule for all ips.

But ok, i thought that was because the system of the firewall and captive portal differs

Aliases are strictly in pf, captive portal is in ipfw.
