The way I read that means that you need to have a registered domain name (mydomain.com), make sure the barracuda is reachable from a public address on the internet and point an FQDN to that address (like barracuda.mydomain.com).

I just had to call who was doing our DNS and they created a record. &nbsp;Then I just had to NAT it through our firewall to the right internal IP.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
