How about a keyword that expands to the user's IP address/netmask on
dialin ports? (i.e. "set filter dialin.in 1 permit assigned 0.0.0.0/0"
to block IP spoofing)

Right now we have to load seperate filters into each portmaster
(based on the assigned address pool) and assign different filters to
customers with static IP addresses.

Surely I'm not the only one to make this RFE?

[BTW.. thanks for the info. on setting a 2nd nameserver; I thought it
might be possible, but "show global" didn't give me any hints.]
