### Overlapping hostnames

The hostnames used to match applications may match multiple known applications. For example, both the Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps use the `chat-e2ee.facebook.com` hostname. When logging traffic to the Facebook Messenger app, Gateway will match and log both the Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps. When you use the Application selector in Gateway policies, actions will be limited to the specific application defined.

The hostnames used to match applications may match multiple known applications. This is most common for vendors with many applications, such as Google or Meta. For example, both the Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps use the `chat-e2ee.facebook.com` hostname. When logging traffic to the Facebook Messenger app, Gateway will match and log both the Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps.

When you use the Application selector in Gateway policies, actions taken by Gateway will be limited to the specific application defined. Gateway may also log other applications that use the same hostnames, but it will not take action unless the application was matched by the policy. To ensure Gateway evaluates traffic with your desired precedence, order your most specific policies with the highest priority according to [order of precedence](/cloudflare-one/policies/gateway/order-of-enforcement/#priority-within-a-policy-builder).
