Techniques are presented herein for a proxy device to verify that the server name listed in a connection request message is the name of the server at the IP address listed in the connection request message. The proxy device obtains a domain name server query sent by a client to a domain name server and then obtains a domain name server result that is sent by the domain name server. The proxy device may cache the data of the domain name server result. The proxy device may obtain a connection request message sent by the client seeking a connection with a server, and then compare the connection request message to the cached domain name server result. Finally, the proxy device may apply one or more policies to the connection request message based on the comparison between the connection request message and the domain name server result.
