In that case, I believe the destination IP Address in the log entry would be the IP Address specified in the sinkhole configuration.

But what if the IP Address specified in the sinkhole configuration is different?

I agree with you, Corinne. The traffic matches the security policy with DNS sinkhole enabled.

I think the destination IP Address will be the IP Address of sinkhole.paloaltonetworks.com.

Haha, you guys are really overthinking this. It's obviously C - the IP address specified in the sinkhole configuration. The sinkhole is where the traffic is being redirected, so that's what's going to be logged.

I see your point. It does make sense that the IP address specified in the sinkhole configuration is what would be logged.

No, it wouldn't be the command-and-control server's IP address. It's definitely the one specified in the sinkhole configuration.

I think it might actually be the IP address of the command-and-control server that is logged.

I'm not so sure about that, Sanjuana. If the traffic is being redirected to the sinkhole, then I think the log would show the IP address of the sinkhole, which is C. That's my guess.

I'm leaning towards B - the IP address of the command-and-control server. That's the original destination the malware-infected host was trying to reach, so I think that's what would be logged.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I'm not entirely sure, but I think the answer might be C - the IP address specified in the sinkhole configuration. That makes the most sense to me, since the traffic is being redirected to the sinkhole.
