Setting VPN ID to Hostname doesn't

CJL
I technically have a dynamic IP address but it stays static for months.

Last night the service went down and when it came back up with a new IP address I decided to change my Site-to-site IPsec VPNs to new hostname VPN IDs so they wouldn't need to be reconfigured when it happens again.

In the remote gateway, I changed the VPN ID to "Hostname" and entered the fqdn we're using.

When I look at the main Site-to-site status page, it still says VPN ID: X.X.X.X and the WAN IP address is shown.

So I deleted the VPN tunnel and recreate it.  Same thing.

Trying to use email address doesn't have any effect either.

What do I need to do to make the ASG understand I want it to use the hostname as the VPN ID?

    This in't easy stuff...

    What are the hostnames of your Astaros?  Has any changed since the original installation?  Please show pictures edits of the 'IPsec Connections' and 'Remote Gateways' and of one of the 'Site-to-Site VPN Tunnel Status' pages.

    Cheers - Bob
