IMO add a permanent ban option something like ban -1 <IP> which will ban an ip at max time_t limit and only those IPs will be exported to that file. Also make that file to be re-read upon each daemon restart to automatically ban these "asshole" ips.
I did that somewhere else i can port it if you wish (or of course you may do it yourself its simple)

You can save a ban list at any place and add ban-list=/path/to/list.txt and it will permanently get read on startup.

true it works as well
however i insist on my opinion of banning "asshole" nodes beyond the 2 days or so ban limit
maybe combine it with moo's 6944

Not sure what you mean. This bans them for basically unlimited time.

block_host(*parsed_addr, std::numeric_limits<time_t>::max());
