DNS host object with 2 NICs

Hello all,

I'm experiencing issues with DNS host object in "network definitions" menu. We have few laptops we need to reference in Sophos UTM and these laptops can connect via Ethernet or WiFi. Both NICs (Ethernet, WiFi) get IPs from different ranges resulting in two addresses for one host. Classic nslookup on whatever host returns both addresses (i.e. WIFI & LAN), however, Sophos resolves only one, mostly the one which is not used by the host at the moment. In other words, only one of two addresses is assigned to DNS host object. 

I'd like to ask if there is any workaround or trick to make it work. We need to use it in firewall rules. Basically speaking, we need to create firewall rules that allow traffic based on particular machine or user regardless of his current network location (e.g. roaming users visiting different subsidiaries).

Thank you, have a nice weekend.

  • Where ever you have DNS Hosts that need more than a single address, replace that object with a new DNS Group object.  Did that solve your problem?

  • Greetings Bob,

    so far looks good, the DNS Group object resolved to two addresses per host and is already in the firewall rule. I consider this as an answer. Thank you.

    Have a good day.
