In a network having first and second addressing zones (Z1, Z2) a name and address server (DNS1) in the first zone (Z1) receiving a request (REQ1) to supply an address coming from the first zone (Z1), concerning the name (N) of a machine (20) of the second zone (Z2), sends a first packet (IP1) containing at least said name (N), via an interface (INT), to an address (AD1, 2) of the second zone (Z2) assigned to a management unit (22), the interface (INT) receives a second packet (IP1) comprising, as address of origin, an address (AD2, 2) of the second zone assigned to the receiver machine (20), and transmits said package (IP2) to the server (DNS1) by replacing the address of origin with an address (AD3, 1) of the first zone forming part of a list (P) of addresses allocated to the second zone (Z2); and the server (DNS1) sends back the latter address (AD3, 1) in reply (REP) to the request (REQ1) to supply an address.
