Re: [FW1] using hostname in a workstation object?!



You'll need to do an nslookup for the FQDN, then create separate
workstation objects for each of the site's load balanced IPs.  Then allow
access to all of the objects.  Otherwise it will work for your users
sometimes but not others.

I've also heard of some people having success at specifying the other IPs
in a single workstation object's "interfaces" tab, but I have never tried
that.  Hope this helps!
