I thought we discussed that it can be deployed independently of an Anti-Spyware Profile, so maybe option A is one of the answers?

I feel like option D about forging DNS replies could be an advantage too, but I can't recall if it's specifically mentioned in our practice questions.

I remember something about it monitoring DNS requests for malware, so maybe option B is correct?

I think one advantage is that it can work upstream from the internal DNS server, but I'm not entirely sure.

I've got this! The first advantage is that it can be deployed independently of an Anti-Spyware Profile, and the second is that it can work upstream from the internal DNS server.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about that. I think the forging of DNS replies to malicious domains might be one of the advantages, but I'm not confident.

I remember learning about DNS Sinkholing in class. I think the passive monitoring and the ability to work upstream are the two advantages they're looking for.
