A system for enhanced monitoring and adaptive management of inter-network Domain Name System, DNS, traffic, comprising: a monitored network including an information capture device and at least a client machine, said monitored network being adapted to originate a DNS query from the client machine to resolve a domain name and to send the DNS query to a recursive name server outside of the monitored network, wherein the recursive name server receives the DNS query and responds to the DNS query with a modified DNS answer that redirects the client machine generated traffic to the information capture device; and a data storage including augmented DNS data and being accessible by the information capture device, wherein the information capture device is adapted to: receive a redirected connection request originated by the client machine in response to the modified DNS answer; capture detailed information associated with the client machine and with the redirected connection request to provide captured information, wherein the detailed information is not accessible by the recursive name server; send the captured information to the data storage, wherein the data storage utilizes the captured information to update augmented DNS data associated with at least one of the client machine or the redirected connection request; and provide, in response to the redirected connection request, an adaptive answer to the client machine, wherein the adaptive answer is generated based on the augmented DNS data. a monitored network including an information capture device and at least a client machine, said monitored network being adapted to originate a DNS query from the client machine to resolve a domain name and to send the DNS query to a recursive name server outside of the monitored network, wherein the recursive name server receives the DNS query and responds to the DNS query with a modified DNS answer that redirects the client machine generated traffic to the information capture device; and a data storage including augmented DNS data and being accessible by the information capture device, wherein the information capture device is adapted to: receive a redirected connection request originated by the client machine in response to the modified DNS answer; capture detailed information associated with the client machine and with the redirected connection request to provide captured information, wherein the detailed information is not accessible by the recursive name server; send the captured information to the data storage, wherein the data storage utilizes the captured information to update augmented DNS data associated with at least one of the client machine or the redirected connection request; and provide, in response to the redirected connection request, an adaptive answer to the client machine, wherein the adaptive answer is generated based on the augmented DNS data. receive a redirected connection request originated by the client machine in response to the modified DNS answer; capture detailed information associated with the client machine and with the redirected connection request to provide captured information, wherein the detailed information is not accessible by the recursive name server; send the captured information to the data storage, wherein the data storage utilizes the captured information to update augmented DNS data associated with at least one of the client machine or the redirected connection request; and provide, in response to the redirected connection request, an adaptive answer to the client machine, wherein the adaptive answer is generated based on the augmented DNS data. <EOS>
