You cant setup firewall rules basedon dns names. firewall rules are
based on ip adresses and dns resolution happens on rule creation.
I dont have an example for nginx. As I remember nginx resolves dns names
only for variables. So setup a variable with your hostname and use this
variable in your server definition.
