      I had a situation where I have a nat rule setup with source as aliases, its a few dynamic DNS hostnames.

      One of the hostnames wasn't setup yet, so I had it's dynamic hostname in there, and then I also had its current IP listed separately.

      When the dynamic dns host started resolving, I removed the IP and the nat did not work(or maybe firewall?). I had to put the IP back in for it to start forwarding the traffic in again.

      Can anyone else test this and confirm this is broken, or maybe its just MY install that's broken.

      FWIW I'm on 2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64)

      Thanks

        @jbeez IIRC, FQDN aliases are resolved hourly...? If it was fast enough it might not have enough time to resolve.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @steveits I believe mine is set to 300 seconds, but I had let it sit for over a day.
