In order to allow FQDN objects, or even dynamic DNS entries, you could leverage Dynamic Objects, despite it has impacts on SecureXL when using templates.

Create a dynamic object as a destination and place it in your rule, then on the command line do the following:

The dynamic object name here is "dynamic_host" and must match the dynamic object created in the SmartDashboard.

# dynamic_objects -n dynamic_host
Operation completed successfully

To populate the dynamic object run the following:

# dig +short cloud.hostname.com google.com|sort -u|awk '{print $1" "$1}'|xargs dynamic_objects -a -o dynamic_host -r
Operation completed successfully

Check the object has been updated (shows both in the logs in tracker as well):

It's recommended to create a cron task to update this periodically.
