Hmm, that's a good point. I didn't consider that possibility. But wouldn't that mean the traffic would still be routed to an external server, rather than being completely sinkholed? I'm leaning more towards C, just to be safe.

I'm not so sure about that. What if the sinkhole is configured to use the IP address of one of the external DNS servers identified in the anti-spyware database? Wouldn't that be D then?

Good point. In that case, it would be C.

But what if the sinkhole is specifically configured to use its own IP address?

Yeah, I agree with you. The sinkhole is designed to redirect the malware-infected host's traffic to a specific IP address, so C seems like the logical choice here. It's a pretty straightforward question, but I'm sure the exam will have some trickier ones too.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing our understanding of how DNS sinkholing works. I'm pretty sure the answer is C, the IP address specified in the sinkhole configuration. That's where the traffic would get redirected to, right?
