I love the way that on this list that a simple request for clarification
instantly digresses to the "Open Port" joke. As you can tell, I am not really
in the mood. It has been the ISA week from hell, and the one group I
supposedly can turn to for help has been busy answering my emails for
assistance with the same Open Port joke we have all heard over and over again.
I never said anything about Open Port or Add Site. That is the verbiage from
MS's own support site.
For this particular setting, there is no way to add the DNS or "site" for these
connections, only the IP addresses that the site resolves to at that moment in
time. If the IP addresses change, which would be the case for something like
iTunes, which uses outside companies to distribute files, then the compression
rules for that "site" will break again. This does not seem like a proper
solution. A better or more intuitive alternative would maybe have been the
allowance of a destination set, instead of having to use a computer or network
set.

Hi John,
Indeed - eGore has been a real pain re: the AddSite[Patent Pending]Button. He
tried to take the OpenPort[TM] from me too, but I beat him too it.
The problem I'm having now is that no one wants to lic the OpenPort[TM] button
because everyone thinks that all firewalls and network devices have one -- why
would level one to level X network primates tell you to "Open a Port [sic]"
Happy spring.

The "Add site" button has been temporarily disabled and hidden pending
a patent check. I have learned that Al Gore is claiming he holds the patent on
it even though the US Government patent office clearly shows the request came
from the Good Doctor.
In other news, the "Open Port" button is now fully certified and
patented for use.

Umm .. define "Add site". There is no option to add a site, only a
network or computer. The solution is to add a new network object with the
entire class C for that DNS name, or add each IP that it resolves to?
