yes, I know that - but - isn't my question/description clear?
Maybe I'll extend the example.

I issue follownig command:

# ipfw add 10000 allow tcp from any to smtp.o2.pl smtp setup

Current result is that following rule is loaded:

10000 allow tcp from any to 212.126.20.58 dst-port 25 setup

Expected result is following:

10000 allow tcp from any to 212.126.20.58, 212.126.20.60, 212.126.20.61 dst-port 25 setup

(the name smtp.o2.pl has 3 IP addresses assigned)
