Hello,

Can you send a sample of the traffic in pcap form?

Thanks.

Good evening all,

Looking for some suggestions to quiet (PROTOCOL-DNS domain not found containing \
random-looking hostname - possible DGA detected).  It goes off every time someone \
opens Chrome due to Chrome DNS prefetching. I disabled prefetching in Chrome but \
apparently it still does some things upon opening that cant be controlled in the \
settings.

Browser Startup
Chromium automatically remembers the first 10 domains that were resolved the last \
time the Chromium was started, and automatically starts to resolve these names very \
early in the startup process.  As a result, the domains for a user's home page(s), \
along with any embedded domains (or anything the user "always" visits just after \
startup), are generally resolved before much of Chromium has ever loaded.  When \
Chromium finally starts to try to load and render those pages, there is typically no \
DNS induced latency, and the application effectively "starts up" (becoming usable) \
faster.  Average startup savings are 200ms or more, with common acceleration over 1 \
second.

Looking for ideas beyond disabling the rule.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Dan
