Title: FQDN as an Alias?
Post by: jlficken on August 15, 2025, 05:30:14 PM
I'm trying to figure out how to add FQDN's as aliases but thus far am striking out.

Is this possible?

Specifically, I'm using this to allow people with DDNS to connect to my servers when they sign up for No-IP and get a FQDN.

Thanks!  I must have missed that somehow in the documentation as I thought it was IP only.

Be careful of the pitfalls using fqdn's, if SOA/NS records change fast, as is often the case with cloud services, FW's that rely on their own lookup cache and timers can lead to issues.
