For the lack of any ready made solution out in the wild, I have written a VB6 program that automates the process of submitting designated Microtik Firewall Log items to DSHIELD (can handle up to 10 routers), it also has the ability to process up to 10 IP Blacklists that are too large to do in microtik router os due to the 4K read limit, it creates .rsc files to import these large blacklists into the router. With the usage of SCRIPTS in the Microtik routers the whole process is automated.
Currently I have asked DSHIELD to make it available on there website as a third party app, I am still waiting to hear back from them on that. Once I do I will update this post and upload a copy of the program for everyone here who is interested to be able to use it.

Here is the link for the program. It is written in Visual Basic 6, which is sort of old and has a clunky package installer, so before installing it is very important that you read the .chm Help file on recommendations to follow during install. It is known to work under windows 7 64 bit ok. It has not been tested under VM but should work.
Suggestions are welcome on features suggested or improvements, as long as the are constructive in nature…
This program is geared towards those in windows environments who don’t have easy access to linux script capabilities which could be used to do the same thing.
Once implemented properly this program pretty much automates the process.
During testing, the statistics screens actually allowed us to easily visual spot a DNS based DOS attack in progress.
If you need copies of the microtik scripts used with this please contact me.
