Automatic or scheduled DNS to IP Resolution for object

nigejn — Wed, 08 May 2024 10:32:48 GMT

Hi All

We have had to bypass HTTPS inspection on a licensing site for an application, but the resolved IP changes often, and we need to re-resolve the DNS to retrieve new IP week or so. Is there a way to auto update/schedule update the IP on the object, or is there a better way to do this? We have had to create a Host Object as bypassing it via a URL Category does work and the traffic is inspected?

Thank you

Nigel

You want to use FQDN object for your purpose. The IP is cached for on hour and then resolved again, which should work for the described case.

More info is available in sk120633

Thanks for the quick reply Val, that works a treat. I was looking got FQDN or similar but didn't realise it was domain!.
