      Creating an IP feed with a list in mode "alias deny" and creating a custom firewall rule works as intended. After changing the name of said feed, the firewall rule breaks, throws hard errors (red message counter pops up) and kills the rule processing in a CARP cluster.

      Possible solutions:

      a) pfBNG should not let that name be changable to avoid breaking rules with aliases
      b) pfBNG has to detect the rules in which that alias is used and has to change the alias name to the new one.

      Cheers
