Hello ,
1. will the SRX release after a period of time a host that has been blocked by screen options?
> It depends on whats attack was the client initiated , if its like flooding attacks/ DOS / thrusholds , it will get released . I remember the time value is somewhere around 30 mins to get release . If its like spoofing , it will drop all times.
2. where does screen options evaluate? on the data plane or the control plane?
> The UTMD process run in Control plane , but the checks will be done on Dataplane .
