Hmmm... ok: The issue is not a technical one -- basically from a technical point of view it is easy, not to say trivial, to support the dot. What Victor tried to explain was that there are strong semantics related to the dot; just like in DNS. Noone would ever think about replacing the dot -- except for hackers and phishers that try to replace the dot in netbanking.mybank.com to be able to register the domain for their fishing stuff... In Vuurmuur it is just the same (not yet that critical because of slightly less users than DNS has... ;-) ): The dot separates zones from networks and hosts or groups. Being able to seperate them is quite important: You have to think about structuring your network when using the Firewall. The concept is close to how DNS works, or at least it appears to be, but there is a huge difference in practice: zones are not compareable to top level domains... I hope this helps to clarify the issue...
