The security logs will still have the information generated by Endpoint/DFP (e.g. private IP, endpoint name, etc). If the client is DoH client then you just get the public IP the traffic is coming from. If you have an Endpoint and go to a site of another company who protect their site with "External Network", you Endpoint traffic will hit your tenant and only be processed by your tenant. The Endpoint/External Network precedence topic only applies if you have both the Endpoint and the External Network in the same tenant. [[https://docs.infoblox.com/space/BloxOneThreatDefense/35439943/Security+Policy+Precedence|Precedence]]: If you have a security policy at the top of the policy list (i.e. highest precedence), then if there is a DFP or an active Endpoint in that site or a DoH client, they will get processed by that security policy rather than the security policy they are actually aligned to further down the list of policies.

 Infoblox Threat Defense will never block *.infoblox.com even if it is explicitly blocked by Security Policy. This is because the domain is trusted and run by Infoblox and is necessary for basic functioning of the service. Infoblox Threat Defense will never block *.infoblox.com even if it is explicitly blocked by Security Policy.

 +===== NSDNAME and NSIP =====
 +
 +Disable NSDNAME/NSIP processing to prevent major performance impacts (approx. 45%). This feature can also cause massive outage if a legitimate NS server gets onto your block list.
 +
 +RPZ NSDNAME (Name Server Domain Name)
 +  * Definition: This trigger matches the domain name of the authoritative name server (found in the NS records) during recursive resolution.
 +  * Use Case: If a malicious actor uses ns1.badactor.com to host 5,000 phishing websites, you can create an RPZ rule targeting ns1.badactor.com.rpz-nsdname. Any domain utilizing that name server will be blocked.
 +  * Key Advantage: It catches new malicious domains immediately, even if they aren't listed in a reputation feed yet, as long as they use the same compromised name server. 
 +
 +RPZ NSIP (Name Server IP Address) 
 +  * Definition: This trigger matches the actual IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) in the A/AAAA records of name servers associated with domains (glue records).
 +  * Use Case: If a malicious server changes its name (e.g., from ns1.badactor.com to ns1.sneaky.com) but keeps the same IP address (e.g., 192.0.2.55), NSDNAME might fail, but NSIP will still block it.
 +  * Functionality: It protects against attackers who try to evade NSDNAME filters by changing name server names.
