If those are truly IP ranges, then there's no easy way - maybe nf-hipac can help you. If the ranges are really CIDR blocks, then ipset can help you: for same-sized CIDR blocks, you can use it immediately and can collapse the matching against to the 80000 CIDR blocks practically into a single match. If you have got different sized CIDR blocks, then a new maptype of ipset could be written to support it.
