Double or Triple Nesting Aliases
-
Odd question here, but is anyone aware of any issues double or triple nesting aliases within pfSense?
I have an odd use case that could really benefit/be cleaner by doing so, but don't want to break something.
As a made up example, say Alias1 has 5 IPs in it, Alias2 has 5 entries all of which reference other aliases (so Alias2 is full of other Alias' referencing IPs), could I create Alias3 to reference both Alias1 and Alias2?
Assuming this is possible, the firewall would basically "drill down" through all alias references until it hits the real IPs?
I'll test this in my lab if I don't get good feedback here, just haven't had time yet.

As an update, I have confirmed this works as expected by checking the tables after nesting aliases within aliases within aliases.
I figured it would work, great to know, can really help clean things up in large environments.
