this is obviously not a defect report but a feature request ;)

This would be a real useful feature in my view also. I use peerblock to block
certain ip ranges within dc++. I allow specific hub ips to connect to me only
ie
people whom I trust. However from time to time their ip will change when
rejoining
our hub. This means that I have to change the allowed list for some of the
users and
allow the new ip again. By linking their ip to a dyndns address this could be
solved. If peerblock which is a great software may I add had a feature which
would
allow you to add a dyndns address it would make for the perfect setup for such
a
scenario. This is not a bug or defect as messo has already stated but perhaps
somethign to consider in the future? Love your software its absolutely superb!
Keep
up the great work!

Hmm, the difficulty here would be would be that as y'all have identified, IP
addresses can and will change. Since PeerBlock operates at an IP address
level, we'd
need to every so often query for what IP address a DynDNS type name maps to. We
wouldn't want to check this for every single packet, because that would just be
silly. So what we'd have to do would be to check every so often, and then
cache the
result until the next time. This means that you'd have a window during which we
could be allowing the wrong IP address...
Note that I'm not nixing the idea, I'm just trying to make sure we capture some
of
the issues we could be confronted with if we decide to start implementing this
feature request.

I also don't see any way to do this without either updating a list of IP's for a
domain or doing a Reverse DNS lookup on every packet (which would kill your
machine)

Hello,
I am using version 1.2 of Peerblock which has the Port-settings tab, I set it
to allow PORT 53 for both incoming and outgoing directions and still some IP
addresses are blocked even if connecting to/from that port.

Hi,
I use this C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to block by name
192.1.0.2 www.red-gate.com
192.1.0.2 update.red-gate.com
192.1.0.2 red-gate.com
192.1.0.2 ui.skype.com
192.1.0.2 pricelist.skype.com
192.1.0.2 armorgames.com
192.1.0.2 apps.skype.com
192.1.0.2 wrapper.g.msn.com

I now some programs add here some things, e.g. Cisco Any Connect
119.221.19.37 vpn.coolcompany.com ###Cisco AnyConnect VPN client modified this
file. Please do not modify contents until this comment is removed.
So it would be alternative to "DNS" blocking.
Right now I have to put stuff into hosts manually, some automated stuff
integrated with peerblock could be good.
