Hi,

I'm running Debian GNU-linux 2.2r3 (potato) and trying to set up firewall
rules with sources and destinations specified as domain names rather than
IP addresses.

The problem is that ipchains returns an error:

/sbin/ipchains: host/network `domain.name' not found
Try `/sbin/ipchains -h' or '/sbin/ipchains --help' for more information.

The host this is running on can resolve the domain names OK.

Anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks and best regards,
