I have about half of the addresses blocked, but what is the impact of adding 150 ip addresses to iptables with potentially hundreds more over time? At what point will iptables eat up all my bandwidth in blocking addresses?
Just to add to what Dave said...
I have a production server that is fairly low end hardware that currently has 2952 iptables rules that block individual IPs, several /24 networks, and a handful of /16s. There is no noticeble impact on the box.
