Thanks for this suggestion. It is indeed simple. In my case, it may not be, because
the hash structure changes with updates. Branches depend on data. E.g. I may create 1
to 3 branches for an IP address (classes A, B, C), plus a sub-list of alternate lower
class addresses. This is generated by parsing the input data. Its seems feasible to
generate the code for saving at the same time as building the hash. Conclusion: more
homework to do.

and for restoring just call this file from your script. Apparently about 200 of these
lines load "in no time".
