There's no intrinsic relationship between an IP address and a DNS name. From their description, what that does is look up the name to IP address(es), and then uses that to drive the firewall rule. Which is useful, don't get me wrong, but if the CDN varies the IP address (as some of them do), you might not get the desired results. Something to be aware of, is all I'm saying. :) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
