Description of problem: As of today, it is possible to blocklist a particular IP using the osd blocklist command. However, for the requirements of disaster recovery, we would like to blocklist a range of IPs that would belong to a data center hosting a set of clients. Blocklisting such a big range of IPs individually(using what is available today) might have a adverse effect on the size of the OSD map and hence the need for this enhancement.

This feature is done and already present in RHCS5 and the underlying upstream 17.2.3 for RHCS6. What QE we want to do can be negotiated, but we can't regress by pushing it out to 6.1.
