Info

All sizing guideline information is for reference only. It represents the results of lab testing in a controlled environment focused on individual protocol services. Enabling additional protocols, services, cache hit ratio for recursive DNS, and customer environment variables will affect performance. To design and size a solution for a production environment, please contact your Infoblox Solution Architect.


Infoblox Trinzic appliances have the following limitations on the number of threat intelligence entries that can be loaded on to each appliance. These recommended per-appliance limitations help achieve acceptable performance and should not be exceeded. To help you prioritize and select threat feeds in the DNS FW configuration, use the entry counts next to the feed in the NIOS setup, and use the following guidelines:

titleFeed Restrictions
  • Low end models (1.5M/2M) - do not receive any of the three Suspicious feeds (Suspicious, Suspicious Lookalikes, Suspicious NOED) the Newly Observed Emergent Domains feed, or the Farsight Newly Observed Domains NOD feedGet the base protection (confirmed malicious indicators) - Base domains and Base IPs
  • Middle end models (6M/8M) –
  • receive some of the Suspicious feeds (but not all three), the Newly Observed Emergent Domains feed, and the Farsight Newly Observed Domains NOD feed
  • Beyond base protection, they also get the Policy feeds. The 1425 model (that can handle 8M indicators) can also get the high risk part of unconfirmed indicators (Suspicious). 
  • High end models (20M/40M) –
  • receive
  • Gets all the feeds.

titlePre-configurated Feed Sets

The pre-configured sets – Extreme/High/Med/Low – are supposed to be used by itself. They are not supposed to be used in any combination with other pre-configured options or the above individual RPZs, as it will result in overlap without additional benefit/protection for customers, resulting in ineffective usage of resources.
