Title: Nesting aliases does not work as advertised
Post by: ErikvL on November 01, 2026, 03:21:12 PM
I have several single host aliases (One name, One IP).
Then I have a nested alias that groups a few of those aliases.

Such a nested alias added to a rule works.

But, I also have a nested alias that groups a few of the single hosts aliases and the above mentioned nested alias.

Having this multilevel nested alias in a rule does not work for the nested alias in the group.

The nesting is as illustrated below. Similar to what is documented here: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/aliases.html#nesting

alias A
  alias for IP 1
  alias for IP 2
  alias B
    alias for IP 3
    alias for IP 4
