How Do I Block An IP With ISPConfig And Have It Persist After Reboot?

I have several IP's that are clearly up to no good that I want to block.

I found a HowtoForge post on how to use "route" to block an IP.

Code:

route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx reject

When the server reboots, all of the IPs that I've added to the blacklist are now gone.

How can I keep these IPs from being erased at reboot? Do I need to enter them through ISPConfig somehow?

either you save all the ips in a text file like this
route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx reject
route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx reject
route add -host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx reject
and copy paste in terminal on reboot.

or better still use fail2ban to automatically ban the offending IPs automatically.
