PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for accessing distributed services in a network. SOLUTION: In a set of a plurality of servers, each of which (a) provides a service having a name or another identifier, (b) has a network address different from that of another server in the set, and (c) is disposed in the same position as a solution mechanism which maps a name or another identifier of a service received from a client to a network address which is local to the solution mechanism. The solution mechanism is operated in such a manner that the client can select one of the servers which are currently operating so as to provide a service to the client, and/or can access the client, and that the client can select such a server as the one that the client does not have to access first.
