TRY THIS secure-iptables does not accept FQDN

[dbaum]

When running secure-iptables the prompt for an FQDN or IP address of administration location will not accept an FQDN, only an IP address.
This is in Green Version, Asterisk 11.5.1, FreePBX 2.11.0.11, running on Centos 6.4 FINAL at Rent PBX.

The same scenario occurred when using Piaf + Purple (Piaf 2.0.6.2, FreePBX 2.9.0.11, Asterisk v1.8.8.0, CentOS Linux v6.2)

Would the solution be to input the administrator dynamic IP address and then add the administrator computer FQDN?
When the IP address changes, would that lock the administrator out of the server?

This is the first question I have yet to find an answer to, and a solution would be greatly appreciated.
I have been using this forum for years and have always found the right answers to my questions- thank you to all the people who have worked to give us those answers.

This fix should work. You'll need the Travelin' Man 3 monitoring component (ipchecker) running as a cron job to force a restart of iptables with iptables-restart when the IP address changes.
