Domains

A Domain object lets you define a host or DNS domain by its name only. You do not need the IP address of the site.

• The format of the name is x.y. For example mysite.com or mysite.co.uk.
• A period separates each section of the name.
• For successful resolution to an IP address, the specified domain name must be an actual domain name.
• Name resolution takes place on the Security Gateway, and the result is cached for reuse.

You can also configure the domain object to represent a pattern that will watch all sub-domains. For example: *.mysite.com. This partial domain name will match all sub-domains of mysite.com.

Note - The gateway resolves partial names using DNS reverse lookups, which can be inaccurate and take some time.

After defining a domain object, you can use it in the source and destination columns of an access policy.
