Rules can be inserted, deleted, and appended anytime you want to.  If
you like, you can insert the rule at the top of your list (since it's
rather specific, specifying a single host).  Then when you want to
deactivate it, just delete it.

Be advised, though, that once you delete the rule, other rules will be
checked, if you have any, and they might grant access as well.  You
might want to delete the rule and replace it with a rule that uses a
"deny" action rather than "masq", so that the host is really not
permitted to forward out to the net.
