Abstract
A request is received at a local domain name system server (LDNS) from a client application to resolve a domain name. Responsive to the request a WHOIS information corresponding to the domain name is obtained, using which an age of registration of the domain name and a first weighted value based on the age are computed at the LDNS. A host associated with the domain name is accessed to determine whether a type of a service is configured at the host. A second weighted value is computed based on the configuration of the type of the service. A weighted score is computed using the first weighted value and the second weighted value. An action is selected according to the weighted score. The action is applied to a network component in a network where the client application is executing, to control a manner in which the client application communicates with the host.
