    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!
