So I have a ticket open with Sonicwall but we did not get very far with the level 1 tech. I'm wondering if maybe it is my setup or if it is a common issue.
If I have a FQDN address object for say *.domain.com it will not add any addresses to the dynamic address object table if domain.com does not resolve to anything.
Here is my real example:
I have a FQDN address object for *.cloudapp.net
cloudapp.net does not resolve to anything but,
ns-sb2-prod-sn3-011.cloudapp.net does resolve
Am I crazy for thinking that the IP address forns-sb2-prod-sn3-011.cloudapp.net should be added to the *.cloudapp.net address object?
I know the sonicwall fills its FQDN list by listening to DNS traffic that passes through the firewall. Why would it give up on any host on the cloudapp.net domain if cloudapp.net does not resolve.
Couple of other examples:
