One of the Data Group types is external which can point to a file in either the /config or /var/class directories. Here's an example bigip.conf reference to an external string class
class image_types_ext extern {
type string
filename "/var/class/image_types.txt"
}
Configuration help is available in the GUI or you can type "bigpipe class help" for commmand line help.
Keep in mind that simply overwriting the contents of the file won't cause the BIG-IP code to reload it into it's running configuration. You will either have to reload the config with a "bigpipe load" command. A recent forum post also covered how to maintain external class lists with iControl.
