SYSTEMS amp; METHODS FOR PROXY RESOLUTION OF DOMAIN NAME SERVICE (DNS) REQUESTS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for resolving domain name services (DNS) queries for address information about hosts on a network. The queries are posited from remote users across a satellite or other remote link to a network. In response to a domain name services request from the client containing a name of the server, a placeholder address is generated and provided in response to the client. After a subsequent request for a connection to the server is received, the name of the server is re-associated with the placeholder address and the connection request containing the proper host name is forwarded across the data link. A hub processor receives the request for connection, resolves the name of the server to an address on the network, and establishes a connection between the client and the server using the address on the network.
