      Wat are we trying:

      We want to give us the option to be able to open a port for the public ip where we are at the moment.
      We can use VPN but that is to much overhead.

      What have i tried.

      I created a nat rule with a alias as source.
      This alias is filled from a webserver, created a desktop application to update the webserver.
      Only the alias updates each 24 hours, not instant or each minute.
      I can change the script for pfsense to get it each minuten, but i fear it will put to much stress on the firewall.

      Maybe you guys have a better idea.

        I think you need to rewrite this post with more detail??

        But from what you have above could you not just have an alias with a group of internal webserver addresses or a designated subnet (assuming only one internal address will be using the nat rules at any given time)
