Ever want to allow access to "google.com" or "google.com.au" or some large lists of A record hosts (like AWS or Azure hosted front end elastic load balancers.. or akamai hosted stuff etc)?
Domain objects not doing it for you? (reverse lookups only the first address)
Logical server objects not doing it for you (like they do in AWS/Azure autoscaling?)
Not on R80.10 yet?
Create a dynamic object as a destination.. then on the command line do the following:
The dynamic object name here is "dynamic_dns_hosts" and must match the dynamic object created in the policy editor (smartconsole).
//
[Expert@gw-913127:0]# dynamic_objects -n dynamic_dns_hosts
Operation completed successfully
To populate the dynamic object run the following:
[Expert@gw-913127:0]# dig +short my.changing.cloud.hostname.com google.com google.com.au|sort -u|awk '{print $1" "$1}'|xargs dynamic_objects -a -o dynamic_dns_hosts -r
Operation completed successfully
Log update success
//
Check the object has been updated (shows both in the logs in tracker as well):
//
[Expert@gw-913127:0]# dynamic_objects -l
object name : CPDShield
range 0 : 0.0.0.1 0.0.0.1

It's possible to write this into cron (scheduled_task) or run in a while loop. It's possible also to depopulate the object, delete the object and all the other things too.
If you're interested in doing this in python, there's some cool tools here (someone at checkpoint wrote it):
Hi,
You can not use domain objects in NAT rules in R80. So you can use dynamic objects.
First create a file on your disk, such as /home/admin/file_on_your_disk.txt. Add host names line by line.
then create a script and add it to cron. If daily, you can use CP Job Scheduler. If frequency is less than a day then refer to sk77300.
-------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
source /opt/CPshrd-R80/tmp/.CPprofile.sh
dig +short -f file_on_your_disk.txt | grep '^[.0-9]*$'| sort -u | awk '{print $1" "$1}' | xargs dynamic_objects -a -o dynamic_dns_hosts -r
