Name firewall rules

I use the firewalls to block SSH from all but our employee IPs. However, those IPs change weekly, and I end up having to maintain a map and it's really confusing. I'd like to have a way to name them so I can easily update them.
Different ways I've done this with traditional firewalls:
• Create one SSH rule per person and name the rule
• Create a named machine with an IP for each person, and add all those machines to the SSH rule
Please please please let me know if this is something you can accommodate in the future.

Agree with this issue. My idea was to allow tags for IPs, like you can tag droplets. Then I could create a tag for a person or entity and easily update that person's IP when it changes. That would be particularly useful for services like Google Data Services, which require a huge list of IPs to be granted access.

I too would love this feature! Working remote, I have a lot of different IPs that I use as I travel around. I wish we could name/tag the different IPs in the firewall screen.

I just sent a support request about the same issue.
The firewall IP addresses need to have a label attached to them so we don't have to reference an external table every time.
