I think, yes. There was a hardware failure on the server, and no

Hi all,
does it work to define iptables rules with a fqdn as destination
instead of an IP address? Or is it useful to resolve the name first
using e.g. nslookup, writing the result to a variable which is then
used within the -d statement?
