checks incoming and outgoing connections against a dynamic database of known bad domain names and IP addresses (the blacklist and then logs or blocks any suspicious activity.
A static whitelist can be created for addresses that should not be on the blacklist.

2) Known allowed addresses - these addresses are on the whitelist.
3) Ambiguous address - these addresses are associated with multiple down names (greylists)
4) Unlisted addresses - These addresses are unknown and not included on any list.
