Firewalls (in general, and widows firewall in particular) usually deal with things that have already been resolved to a number (port, protocol, address) rather than a domain name or host name, doing DNS lookups on the fly would slow them down too much. Filtering by names is the sort of thing done by proxy servers, instead of firewalls. |
