Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use the access list feature to restrict access to a subdomain to devices from my home network. Since my ISP does not assign IP addresses statically, I have to log into the webinterface every so often and replace my old IP address with my new one.

Describe the solution you'd like

I have a dynamic dns record that is kept up-to-date with my home IP address. I would like to use this dynamic dns entry for the access list. I imagine that the proxy manager periodically resolves the domain and then replaces the ip address in this access list accordingly.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I dont really see an alternative to my proposal. Will update this issue if a better solution comes to my mind.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the access-list implementation and the proxy manager's DNS-resolution lifecycle; done means a configured dynamic DNS record keeps the access list synchronized with the current IP without manual replacement.
