Under tunnel policy is it possible to use a hostname instead of an IP? Using the help menu it says this:
Type
Select the type of tunnel policy (static or dynamic) from the Type list. A tunnel policy is static when it applies to one or more remote peers that can be accurately identified by IP address or DNS host name. A tunnel policy is dynamic when it applies to an unknown remote peer that seeks to initiate an IPSec connection with the firewall. A static policy is more secure than a dynamic policy. However, a dynamic policy is necessary when a remote IPSec peer has a dynamically assigned IP address or when the firewall is configured to allow connections from unknown remote hosts.

but it wont allow me to type a host name and 0.0.0.0 doesnt work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
