      Hello Everyone,

      To redirect the traffic for FQDN i have created one Alias with Hosts types, and added alias in Firewall rules. But i have check and found the Alias table file is not updating with IPs. Anyone has any suggestion on this issue.

      Thanks,
      Atul

        Could you be more specific? You're creating an IP alias? IIRC, aliases are updated every 10 minutes. If the FQDN resolves to multiple addresses, only the first is used.

              It's every 5 minutes, not 10, and I don't know how to change that. A better solution might be to build the alias yourself and populate it with all of the known IP addresses for that FQDN.
