Hi,

I made a script which builds a list of banned IP and I would like to know if there is a way that nginx uses this list directly?

When the IP "AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD" is banned, the following file is created: "/some/folder/AAA/BBB/CCC/DDD.txt".

So I was thinking to use the Perl embeded engine in nginx to convert the IP into such path and test if the file exists. However, I am really not an expert in Perl at all and I don't know how to do it. Or may be it can be done by nginx itself?

Any help would be welcomed,

Thank you.
