Assuming I got my redirect rule right:
REDIRECT net:$REMOTE_MANAGEMENT_IP 22 tcp
Rereading the docs, changing my configs and using the redirect rule as
you suggested I don't even need address variable.
Is it possible to expend address variable in a warning or info directives?:
?INFO New bound ip is &{NEW_IP_ADDRESS}
Thanks again for your help Tom.
