I mentioned that in my earlier response - but if the point is to block
entire countries (or any collection of CIDR blocks, for that matter), it's
sufficient to have a whitelist table and a blacklist table. The table arg
could also be a skipto rule number, right? And you can do policy-based
routing, with the table arg as a FIB number.

Passing the packet to userland via divert sockets was a brilliant idea in
2003. natd was pretty much the first NAT mechanism to properly handle ICMP
error responses, too.
