      Is it possible to nest IP addresses?  I would like to set up something like:

      Name=Value
      Home_IP=peter_IP, dan_IP
      Inbound_IP=peter_IP,dan_IP
      dan_IP=1.1.1.1
      peter_IP=2.2.2.2

      This way I can change a home IP address only once and not in multiple places.

      It seems like this can be done with Ports but not hosts.

        Not currently but it is something we are looking to do at some point in 2.0.

          Is it my imagination or does it work with ports?

          I don't get an error when I nest ports:

          Name          Values                                        Description
          ports_Zix  389, ports_HTTP, ports_mail    Ports used by ZixMail

          Just wondering.

          Thanks,

          Peter

          ps. It would definitely be worth having in 2.0 - it simplifies administration quite a bit.

            I take back my previous post - it allows you create the rule but is doesn't load the rules.
