Outbound NAT to a specific URL

[AKessler]

Hello all,
I am trying to figure out how to assign a specific outbound IP address on my WAN when local network users visit a particular web site. I know how to establish outbound NAT for a network but not sure how to use it only when LAN users route to a particular url. I'm not even sure it is possible.

Thanks.

In the outbound NAT rule you can use networks, single IPs or aliases, all in CIDR notation. So for single IPs and aliases set a /32 network mask.

I may be missing something but I do not think this solves my problem. You are defining a simple outbound NAT rule either for a network or a single host. I am asking if it is possible (and how) to assign an Outbound NAT rule when browsing to a specific external URL. I have created an alias for the URL which pfSense has accepted. I do not see how to apply that to the Outbound NAT rule.

You can state this alias as destination in the outbound NAT rule as mentioned above.

Just wanted to let you know I was able to get this done. I remember a long time ago a list of aliases would show up in some of the fields (since I am using the GUI). I modified the alias to be hosts and that worked when I added the alias as the destination in the Outbound NAT rule.
Thank you for your input.
