Firewall Rules - Edit Service to allow Domain Name rather than IP Address

[Justin Clarke]

Hi,

Is it possible somehow to edit a firewall service and choose the option "Allow from selected sources, deny from others" and to enter a domain name rather than an IP address.

When I try to add a domain name (a DynDNS one) it comes back with "Invalid IP address or network."

Is there are workaround for this? I.e, editing a config file somewhere or something in the psa DB?

Thanks.

It is impossible, because Linux iptables can work only with IPs but not with hostnames.

Thanks very much for that info.
