The IFWXGetXByY interface allows a filter to modify the result of remote gethostbyname or gethostbyaddr function calls made by a Firewall client.
The IFWXGetXByY interface inherits the methods of the standard COM interface IUnknown.
In addition, IFWXGetXByY defines the following methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Deny | Denies the name resolution request. |
| SetResult | Sets the hostent structure that will be returned. |
The IFWXGetXByY interface is essentially used to override the gethostbyname or gethostbyaddr functions, returning a hostent structure with different contents than would have been returned by the unfiltered calls. The filter has to call this interface from within the IFWXSessionFilter::FirewallEventHandler method.
A typical use of this interface would be to return an IP address other than that requested by the client; that is, to redirect the request.
