Ah. Thank you muchly for clarifying that. Does this mean that I can
actually configure iptables to control access to domains by name so that
a domain hosted on, for instance, a DynDNS resolver will work properly?
I imagine that having to specify by IP address would actually cause
anything using a dynamic IP address to break the functionality of the
iptables.
