They will vanish on a reboot. There are ways of making them static, you can create a routes file for specific interfaces, not sure how that works for the blackhole idea. You could add them to rc.local if you want. It's probably not needed though. If you 'vanish' they don't appear to persist that much. There are several packages for BO that will automatically block brute force attempts though.
