--- Comment #4 from Eugene Grosbein <eugen@freebsd.org> ---
DNS service is started way later that firewall configuration happens, so it=
 is
error of administrator to rely on it in the ipfw ruleset processed at boot
time.

There are several ways to make it right, though:

- for simple cases, just add an IP address to /etc/hosts;
- for more correct behaviour, use ipfw table instead of direct FQDN usage:

ipfw table 1 create type addr
ipfw add allow ip from 'table(1)' to any

Then create rcNG startup script requiring "named" service (or local_unbound
etc.) that would populate table with all addresses of needed FQDN later when
DNS resolution service is running.
