Is there a length limit for alias names?

If it's an invalid alias I would think one of the logs should show something 
when the firewall rules are applied...I recall seeing errors in there before...

Hi !

Sounds reasonable, but there's no dot at the end ...

Regards,

Hi Martin

Do you have a dot at the end of the fqdn like in bind configs ?

Pfsense doesnt like a dot at the end.
With e.g.
host.domain.tld
It works fine

With
host.domain.tld.
It works not

So if you use a dot at the end please remove it
