Abstract: A subnetted class C internet protocol (IP) address domain name system (DNS) reverse zone file compiling server. The server comprises a memory, a processor, and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, generates a class C IP address DNS reverse zone file associated with the starting class C internet protocol address based on the parsing of the plurality of subnetted class C IP address DNS reverse zone files, wherein the class C IP address DNS reverse zone file comprises an entry for each of assigned internet protocol addresses, wherein each entry for each of the assigned internet protocol addresses directly maps a domain name to an internet protocol address and does not indicate a DNS canonical name type.

Abstract: A domain name system (DNS) cache integrity check system is provided. The system comprises a checking server which comprises an application stored in a memory that, when executed by a processor, checks domain name to internet protocol (IP) address mappings amongst a plurality of DNS cache servers. The checking application consults a valid list data store and identifies a discrepant domain name to IP address mapping. The application requests for a mapping list from an authoritative DNS server. The checking application compares the discrepant mapping to the authoritative DNS server list, if the discrepant mapping is located on the authoritative DNS server list, the discrepant mapping is authorized and written to the valid list, if the discrepant mapping is not located on the authoritative DNS server list, the DNS cache server with the discrepant mapping is flushed and replaced with an authorized mapping from the authoritative DNS server list.

Abstract: A system for managing application service requests. The system processes requests using a first processor, stores a record of the requests in memory using a second processor, and counts the total number of requests received over a time interval using the second processor. If the total number of requests are less than a first threshold, the stored records are dropped. Otherwise, the stored records are analyzed to determine if requests from a single source Internet protocol address exceed a second threshold. If the number of requests from a single source Internet protocol address exceeds the second threshold, the subject Internet protocol address is blacklisted to a firewall through which the service requests pass before reaching the first processor. The requests are visible to the second processor before they are processed by the firewall.
