pfSense

According to [[https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Aliases#Aliases_and_Hostnames]] hostnames are updated as often as configured in System > Advanced > Firewall / NAT. Unfortunately this is true only for aliases entered directly as hosts.

When using a URL table containing FQDNs, these are not updated as stated in the documentation. The URL table is downloaded properly, and hostnames are all resolved to IPs, but only once when the file is downloaded into the table.

The correct behaviour should be to resolve the names in the list just like single hosts.
Smaller update frequencies per table would be desirable, like as low as 5 minutes (Suggested values: 5, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 hours) in addition to existing ones.

I posted a trick to forcefully update the table and resolve the names more often:
