"Learning Mode" or allow domain/website #291

For those users of Comodo firewall, one of the best features is the
firewall/ defense+ learning mode, which will "learn" any subsequent
connections for as long as it's on. This would be a great feature for
peerblock for those full screen programs or games where it might be
blocking connections to other players. Instead of turning it off every time
you run a full screen app., why not have it go into a learning mode to
allow every ip it runs across until you turn it back off?

Similarly, how about a mode which will allow a website and any IP's
associated with that domain to automatically be allowed? For example, Bank
of America's website contains hundreds of different IP's, on different
servers and ip ranges. If it's at all possible, how about allowing that
individual domain, and make each IP from it go on the allowed list. For
those websites that you must implicitly trust, this would make it easier
than selecting the IP's one by one after they have already been blocked. 

This is more of a problem in Windows Vista/7, as the connection is
immediately halted if there's a blocked IP; unlike in windows xp, where
there's a pause, giving the user time to shut it off and let the connection
through. 

Just suggestions, and if they're not possible, then please delete this.
