When you type this command in, iptables will resolve the IP address of
www.myweb.com and substitute the IP address into the rule (of course it will
also resolve the destination address in the same way).

iptables / netfilter *only* works with IP addresses, it does not use
hostnames or URLs once it has been configured - they all get resolved when
the rules are entered.

If the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement.
If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
