Examples

configuration:
policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
no inspect dns preset_dns_map
inspect dns new_dns_map
service-policy global_policy global
Monitoring DNS Inspection
To view information about the current DNS connections, enter the following command:
hostname# show conn
For connections using a DNS server, the source port of the connection may be replaced by the IP address
of the DNS server in the show conn command output.
A single connection is created for multiple DNS sessions, as long as they are between the same two
hosts, and the sessions have the same 5-tuple (source/destination IP address, source/destination port, and
protocol). DNS identification is tracked by app_id, and the idle timer for each app_id runs
independently.
Because the app_id expires independently, a legitimate DNS response can only pass through the security
appliance within a limited period of time and there is no resource build-up. However, when you enter the
show conn command, you see the idle timer of a DNS connection being reset by a new DNS session.
This is due to the nature of the shared DNS connection and is by design.
To display the statistics for DNS application inspection, enter the show service-policy command. The
following is sample output from the show service-policy command:
hostname# show service-policy
Interface outside:
Service-policy: sample_policy
