Access by reverse dns lookup
I'm currently using a very simple irule on a virtual server for controlling access via a network access APM access profile.
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if {not [matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals Subs_IP_ADDR_List]}{
reject }
}
we have a new customer that needs to access but doesn't have static ip addresses - only dynamic dns domain names like
company.dyndns.biz
Which i've added to a data group list.
I've read the articles on RESOLV:lookup and NAME:lookup but could do with a few pointers on where to start.
Thanks,
Vaughan

I know this is over a decade too late - but I've recently had the issue of having a support company with a dynamic DNS record wanting to be able to access the login URL of our website. We have a list of static IPs in IPS_OF_MANAGEMENT_HOSTS - but they wanted to add their DYNAMIC.DNS.NAME entry as well.
It may not be pretty - but here's what I did, hopefully it'll help someone (note that I put the calculation as far into the process as possible to minimise the chance of it running):
when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { "example.com" { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/logonpage*" { if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals IPS_OF_MANAGEMENT_HOSTS] } { pool BACKEND_SERVERS } else { set IPlookup [RESOLVER::summarize [RESOLVER::name_lookup "/Common/rr" DYNAMIC.DNS.NAME a] ] set match "0" foreach result $IPlookup { if { [IP::client_addr] equals [lindex $result 4] } { set match "1" } } if {$match == 1} { pool BACKEND_SERVERS } else { HTTP::respond 403 content "Access denied" return } } } default { pool BACKEND_SERVERS } } } } }
Note that you will've had to define your resolvers in TMSH in order to refer to it here. In theory it'll work where DNS returns multiple entries - although I haven't tested it.
