Re: suppressing alert...

[Joel Esler <jesler () sourcefire com>]

For the first part of your question, I prefer to do one IP per line.  That
way if I need to remove a line, I can grep for the IP, mash "dd" in vi, save
the file, and bump Snort.

As for the second part of your question, I don't know if it's a bug, and I
don't have the time right this second to test to see if I get the same
result.  Maybe someone else can test and if they can replicate it, we can
file a bug to take a look.
