Setup NAT rule for Wake on wan

Hello, I have a Microsoft home server which goes to sleep using the lights out application.
This application supports WOW which would allow me to have the server sleep during the day and then I can just wake it when I need it.
Details on the lights out feature here
Wake On Wan - We Got Served Forums

Here is how I have it setup:
DNAT: ANY - Port 9 UDP - internal (LAN) (Broadcast) - Destination: MS Home Server
Destination Service - [empty]
Auto Packet Filter Rule, Log Packets

But it is dropping the incoming traffic still. What am I missing?

Hi, what if you create a network definition for a Host, with the IP address equal to your network broadcast address, and use that for the DNAT destination?

Well it let me create the definition however it still does not seem to work. I see it get passed by the firewall but I cannot tell if it actually is forwarded to .255 or not. Is there anywhere in the firewall where I could monitor what is happening once it gets passed by the firewall?
