The hostname "google.com" isn't blocked since its current ip differs from its
previous ip when pf has loaded the rule, what can I do in order to be able to block such
sites (with many ip addresses)?
I would use tables and populate them periodically from shell script which can
do FQDN to many IPs resolution.
It can be simple as this
host yahoo.com | awk '$0 ~ /has address/ { print $4 }' > /var/run/pf.yahoo_table
pfctl -t yahoo_table -T replace -f /var/run/pf.yahoo.table
I am sure you will find better solution :)

Thanks for your answer, it is an interested idea.
However, is this method of update periodically the pf tables not disturb or
burden the performance of the pf filter engine especially if the script that
update the tables runs too often?
How often is "too often"?
I think that updating the tables every 5 minutes is enough (no one uses shorter
TTL for DNS entries)
The nicest thing on PF tables is you don't need to reload PF and tables can
live in memory (not need for persistent file on filesystem) so all operations
are really quick.
Our PF firewalls are using tables with thousands of entries without any issues.
I don't see any trouble even if you will update tables each minute.

Thanks again for replying.
I don't know why, but even refresh rate of one minute isn't enough for the
domains google.com or gmail.com.
Even immediately after I load the table which has the rule to block the above
mentioned domains I am still able to access those domains. Sometimes it is
indeed blocked for a half of a minute but finally the chromium browser succeed
to load them.
If you are looking at blocking HTTP traffic the only way I am aware to
effectively block that without jumping through a lot of hoops is to
use something like squid which can block based on domain, no matter what
the current IP address returned from DNS is. You can use PF to
transparently proxy traffic exiting your gateway to squid so there
is no need to worry about proxy settings in the browser(s)
www.google.com DNS TTLs are 5 minutes so you shouldn't have to worry
about the IP changing in less then a minute UNLESS your PF firewall
and your browser use different DNS servers and could therefore get
different answers

Can you give me any hint how to cause PF to redirect all the traffic through
the squid proxy? I'm pretty new in them both (PF and squid).

Atar.
