Is it possible to make the Fortigate route traffic in this way:
External dns pointing to fortigate public ip > fortigate external interface > route the traffic based on dns to a internal IP ONLY if it matches the requested dns?
example using other dns names:
google.com > 8.8.8.8 (fortigate external ip) > 192.168.1.200 (internal system)
Essentially asking if the fortigate can serve the same purpose as a reverse proxy which checks source packets trying to match dns and redirect to a local server.
I hope i explained in a understandable way and thanks in advance.

This was exactly what i was looking for, a big bummer that the 60F doesnt support proxy inspection mode, is it possible to bypass this restriction by using another method or am i completely out of luck regarding this?
Thanks in advance
downgrade to something lower than 7.4.4 when the proxy inspection was eliminated on appliances with 2GB RAM :<
