Explanation

DNS Security in PAN-OS 10.0 introduced a cloud-based DNS signature lookup mechanism. Statement B is true: because the firewall can query the cloud for real-time DNS threat intelligence, there is no longer a need to download and maintain dynamic DNS signature update packages locally. Statement D is true: the previous local DNS signature database had a 100,000-entry cap; the cloud-based DNS Security service removes this limitation, providing access to a vastly larger set of DNS threat indicators. Statement A is false-DNS Security requires explicit activation via a valid subscription and configuration. Statement C is incorrect because DNS Security is part of the Threat Prevention subscription and is accessed differently than PAN-DB (which is URL Filtering).
