Use Dynamic Objects in DNS Policies

The dynamic attributes connector enables you to configure dynamic filters, seen in the Secure Firewall Management Center as dynamic objects, in DNS rules. For information about DNS policies, see DNS Policies.

A dynamic object is automatically pushed from the dynamic attributes connector to the Secure Firewall Management Center after you create connectors and save a dynamic attributes filter on the connector.

You can use these dynamic objects on the DNS rule's Dynamic Attributes tab page, similarly to the way you use Security Group Tags (SGTs). You can add dynamic objects as source or destination attributes, except for endpoint device type objects, which are source only.
