Custom Device DNS Grouping

[patrik_steuer]

Hi,

I make use of an external web service, which get's customer related information through the domain. It looks basicaly like this:

• https://customer1.auth.my.domain.com
• https://customer2.auth.my.domain.com
• https://customer3.auth.my.domain.com
• https://customer4.auth.my.domain.com

Therefore I would like to create a custom device which would bring together all requests to *.auth.my.domain.com. I am aware that I could define multiple hostnames. Hower the customer component within the dns is highly dynamic and I can not configure every new customer there.

Is there a possibility to show all these request as one external service?

Best regards

Patrik

There is no option for using wildcards. Is it possible to catch by IP addresses or this is to dynamic too?

What can be done alternatively, there is API for creating and upgrading Custom Network Devices. This means that if client has option for creating script which will upgrade this configuration right after adding new sub domains it should work.

You can also post an RFE for wildcards / RegEx in host names for Custom Network Devices. I would vote for such product idea 🙂

Maybe new service detection API can help:
