The invention is directed to systems and methods of on-demand waking of computers from a reduced power state, whether they are on standby, hibernating, or off. The invention may use multiple redundant proxies capable of receiving commands and waking computers within a broadcast domain to wake computers that may not be able to directly broadcast to one another as part of a Wake on WAN (WOW) system. Accordingly, the invention may monitor proxies and computers and determine whether a computer is part of a broadcast domain. The WOW system may select new proxies as needed or desired according to a method of selecting preferred proxies.
