Hi Piotr,

there is a better way to append a list entry to an existing table...

[table append -subtable ip " [IP::client_addr]"

Note: A list is "SPACE" seperated string. So lappend var_name newentry is basicaly the same as append var_name " newentry"

BTW: But you may still want to consolidate the subtables into classic tables as explained by Stanislas.
