restricted fqdn or ip hosts - problem. Rule does not work

Question

Hi all 
 I created a firewall allow rule with destination as fqdn (*.microsoft.com). Sadly, the rule does not work and "deny all" rule is applied to traffic. Kindly help

 You should try Adding the domain in wildcard exceptions in Web-->Exception-->Add Exception 
 I have had more success with the above option than creating firewall allow rule with wildcard FQDN hosts.

Thank you all. I was off the keyboard for two days and hence the delay. Well I found out a work around. I was using the built-in proxy of xg 125 to access the sites. I just reconfigured my browser such that it does not use the proxy and instead access the site directly. The wild card filter is working perfectly fine now. Still, I feel the issue should be resolved so that we could be more secure.
