- OpenSER 1.2.0 has a new feature - IP Blacklist support. This is a low level IP filtering engine for the outgoing requests...

From the announcement:

"  The filtering is done based on IP, protocol, port, etc.
Its primary purposes will be to prevent sending requests to critical resources (like GWs) due DNS or to avoid sending to destinations that are known to be unavailable (temporary or permanent).

Because of flexibility concerns, the filtering rules can be groups inside multiple lists.

A rule:
 - matches based on IP/mask, proto, port and text pattern criteria
 - can be reversed applied

A list:
 - can be read-only - it does not change during execution
 - have timeout per elements - elements expires after a configured timeout. "
