      Hello,

      It used to be specified in the docs as 5 minutes

      The FQDN will be resolved by DNS every 5 minutes and updated internally.

      but at some point it became just "periodically"

      Any hostname can be entered into a host or network alias and it will be periodically resolved and updated by the firewall.

      What is the frequency?

      Thanks

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
