+Aliases are very power. In addition to being able to assign friendly names to IPs, Networks, MAC Address, URLs, Domains, etc. You can also nest Aliases, and then reference the alias in your Firewall Rules. Here we will focus on 'URL Tables' which allow you to create an Alias of IPs and/or networks from a URL at a given interval. Making the Alias dynamic, and resilient to changes.
