Bulk import of IP to aliases

[Klug]

Hi everyone.

A customer of mine has a pfSense firewall in front of his webservers.
He also has a list of 1295 IPs that are supposed to be allowed to access the webservers (port 80/443) while anyone else should not be allowed to do it.

So I have a couple questions 8)

I found a thread of 2007 saying the limit of IPs per alias is 299.
Is that still the case?

The other question is about bulk import of these IPs, as I don't think that's currently possible.
I was thinking of doing a backup of the configuration file, adding the IPs in the XML and reimport the file.
Would that work?

Oh, and on a side note: last pfSense I setup (before this one) was more than one year ago.
The work done is tremendous and the synching features (between two pfSense with CARP) are just fabulous!
Congrats to the team.

That would fit in with this question too.
