Selective Proxying In Domain Name Systems

摘要

Systems and methods for processing requests for domain name information in accordance with subscriber information are provided. A request for domain name information can be correlated with subscriber preferences to resolve the domain name information. Domain names may be flagged for blocking or proxying by one or more subscriber preferences. In response to a flagged domain name, a client device can be redirected to a web server that can function as proxy on behalf of the user for accessing the flagged domain. In one example, user preferences and/or network preferences can be used to determine whether a particular user can bypass a blocking preference and access the flagged domain using the proxy.

1. A method of domain name system (DNS) processing, comprising:
receiving a plurality of DNS requests associated with a first subscriber, the plurality of DNS requests being for a first domain; based on at least one network record associated with the first subscriber, generating a response to each DNS request having domain name information for a second domain; receiving at the second domain a set of requests for resources from the first domain; for a first request of the set having a predetermined identifier for the first domain, generating a first response with one or more resources from the first domain; and for a second request of the set without a predetermined identifier for the first domain, generating a second response with one or more resources from the second domain.
