      I want to restrict a port to only 4-5 friends who have there ip address change and all use dyndns type hosts . When I enter in the dyndns host url into the source I get

      dyndnshost.domainhere is not a valid source IP address or alias

      Is this just not possible is there a trick to this.  I have searched diffrent terms I am not finding anything on this.  maybe I missed something in the forums. can some one let me know or link or the trick

      would really help with security locking things down. I am sure there has got to be othere folks who need or would like to do this

        Hostnames are supported, but only inside aliases.

        Firewall > Aliases, click +, give it a name, set the type to 'host', and then click + and add each of the dnsdns hosts you want at the bottom.

        Then use that alias name in the firewall rule.

        Hostnames in aliases are periodically re-resolved and updated when new records are found.
