Description
When using a FQDN alias in the "Redirect target IP" field of a NAT rule, the rule will fail to work.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Setup an Alias using a FQDN of a host
1.a. Alias SSH_SERVER = ssh.my.domain
2. Setup a NAT rule to redirect to said alias
2.a NAT Redirect target IP = SSH_SERVER
3. SSH Fails to connect from the outside.
Upon changing the alias to an IP (SSH_SERVER = 192.168.1.10) I can connect just fine from the outside. Similarly, if I input the IP directly into the NAT rule everything works fine.
While it would be very nice for this to work as expected, at minimum an error should pop up if you try to assign a FQDN alias to a NAT redirect rule.
