Abstract
Described herein are methods, systems, and apparatus in which the functionality of a DNS server is modified to take into account security intelligence when determining an answer to return in response to a requesting client. Such a DNS server may consider a variety of security characteristics about the client and/or the client's request, as described more fully herein. Such a DNS server can react to clients in a variety of ways based on the threat assessment, preferably in a way that proactively counters or mitigates the perceived threat.
