Lion Firewall query - how to block ranges

Question

Does anyone know how to configure the firewall to block a set of IP ranges. I've downloaded some ranges from IPDeny.com as I'm seeing

lots of people in China/Korea attempting a brute force attack on the ssh dameon.

I'm not sure if creating an /etc/hosts.deny file would work, there is the OpenBSD pf installed, but I don't think the default firewall uses that...

Thanks,

Mike Lewis

I've got a Co-located MacMini Server running Snow Leopard Server, and I'd like to block all Asian countries.

Anyone got any advise?

I've looked at the IPDeny.com site, but it does not explain how to add these to OS X server.
