DNS Sensor norecurse

Votes:

How can I set a DNS sensor to norecurse? The issue I'm finding is authoritative DNS servers are starting to get updated to not allow recursive DNS requests.

A real DNS server wouldn't make a recursive request, so this is a security feature. However this is also causing the DNS sensors to fail because there is not an option to set the norecurse flag on the request.

Hi Jeff,

At this point the only possiblity would be to create a custom script in conjunction with an EXE/Script or EXE/Script Advanced Sensor.

Kind regards.
