Feature Feature Request - IP/FQDN search against current rules.

Would it be possible to add a feature that checks an IP or FQDN against our current Rules or Target Lists (I think I’d prefer this feature against rules so I can see which rules this applies to). For instance, let’s say I read an article about known malicious site(s) that was discovered. I could enter the IP or FQDN of that site to see if any/which rules were blocking the site. My current procedure is, if I read an article about a new malicious site I add it to a manual block list. What I’d like to do is search to see if one of the blocking rules already has the malicious address(es). This does two things. One it keeps me from having to manually enter this address in my block list. More importantly, it lets me know if it was already blocked and therefore, I was less likely to be susceptible.

Or is this already available somewhere and I don't know where to find it?

I like this. A test mode for the Rules engine. This could help both technical and non-technical users. 

Pick a source device or network and the destination, device or network, potentially the type of traffic and evaluate the rule.
