    Abstract: In one example embodiment, a network appliance is configured to process packets in a network. The network appliance obtains a mapping of a domain name to a security group tag having associated therewith one or more security policies. The network appliance receives a network packet having an Internet Protocol address. The network appliance determines a particular domain name associated with the Internet Protocol address of the packet. Based on the mapping of the domain name to the security group tag and the particular domain name, the network appliance determines whether the network packet is associated with the security group tag. The network appliance applies the one or more security policies to the network packet based on the security group tag when the particular domain name of the network packet matches the domain name.
