Cant your firewall setup some url-category instead which you bind to the group of webservers?

 

 

Like:

 

 

url-category: RSA_web_services:

 

*.rsa.com, rsa.com

 

 

(or whatever the urls are along with domains etc)

 

 

and then as security policy:

 

 

srcip: group_webservers

 

srcport: >1023

 

dstip: any

 

dstport: 80

 

appid: web-browsing

 

url: RSA_web_services (if no match then block)

 

action: allow and log
