<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a relay server that notifies a user when a specific application becomes unavailable in a case where a virtual address is used for communication. <P>SOLUTION: A relay server stores a first routing target address and a second routing target address. The relay server stores the second routing target address and a virtual address, associating them with each other. The relay server exchanges address filter information with another relay server to establish a routing session. The relay server receives from a user an instruction on permission or prohibition of communication using a virtual address. If the relay server has received an instruction to prohibit communication using a virtual address and determines there is overlap of routing target addresses, the relay server notifies the user that the communication is unavailable. If the relay server has received an instruction to permit communication using a virtual address, the relay server performs communication using the virtual address. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
