Hi @raji_toor There are two different databases behind there two features, which means that something that is categorized as malware in URL filtering does not need to be also in the DNS signatures. In addition with URL filtering it is possible that the domain is categorized as business-and-economy while a subfolder is categorized as malware. Another difference is also that the DNS signatures are more "static" than URL filtering. DNS signatures are updated with the antivirus updates and contain always the full list of DNS signatures which is limited in the way this feature is designed. This DNS signatures simply cannot contain ALL malware, phishing, spyware domains as the list would simply be too big. With urlfiltering the firewall has a local cache of URL and if it does not know the category for a particular URL, it queries the cloud for the category. So what you saw in your logs is actually expected behaviour. If you want to request a change here for something like a cloud lookup for the DNS sinkhole feature, ask your SE to create a feature request for that. Regards, Remo
