The dreaded Alias DNS name table bug still exists in 2.5!? Fix?
-
Hello,
I upgraded from 2.4.5 p1 to 2.5 and still have the dreaded Alias bug when using dns names.
I enter a firewall alias with:
1.2.3.4
2.3.4.5
dnsname.domain.nlThe only one that is entererd in the firewall tables (used in the rules) is the ip off: dnsname.domain.nl
A mouseover over the alias shows all ip's so why are they nog entering the tables?
Is there a fix? This has been bugging us for a long time.
Thanks for any reply.

Mixed ip/hostname aliases are currently not supported. I think there's a redmine for it.

It it working fine here so no general problem in 2.5.
