A method and system for processing Domain Name Services (DNS) request in a gateway. The gateway receives a DNS request from a host from its local area network. The gateway then selects DNS server(s) and transmits a new DNS request to at least one DNS server(s). DNS server(s) may or may not be accessible through a first tunnel. The contents of the new DNS request are the same as the content of the received DNS request. Further, when the gateway receives a DNS response corresponding to the DNS request, it determines a decision whether to transfer data to the host whose IP address is specified in the DNS response through a second tunnel. The decision may be based on a geographical location of an IP address.

A method and system for processing Domain name Services (DNS) request in a gateway with at least one local area network (LAN) interface and at least one wide area network (WAN) interface. The gateway receives a first DNS request from a first host via one of the at least one LAN interface of the gateway. The gateway then selects a plurality of DNS servers. At least one of the plurality of DNS server is accessible through at least one tunnel. The gateway transmits a plurality of new DNS requests to the plurality of DNS servers. The contents of the plurality of new DNS requests are the same as the content of the first DNS request.

Methods and systems for processing Domain Name Service (DNS) request in a gateway with a plurality of WAN network interfaces. After receiving a first DNS request via one of network interfaces of the gateway, the gateway selects at least one DNS server and at least one access network and then transmits a plurality of new DNS requests to the selected at least one DNS server through the selected at least one access network and via one of network interfaces of the gateway.

A method carried out by a first communication gateway for transmitting broadcast data. Broadcast data is first received through a first network interface. The first communication gateway determines whether the broadcast data satisfies at least one condition, and forwards the broadcast data through at least one tunnel and through a second network interface to a second communication gateway if the broadcast data satisfies the at least one condition. The broadcast data is encapsulated in at least one encapsulating packet and the at least one encapsulating packet is decapsulated by the second communication gateway in order to retrieve the broadcast data. The broadcast data is then distributed by the second communication gateway to a second network.

A method and a system for creating Internet Protocol address based network policy by using domain name based network policies is disclosed. The domain name based network policies are stored. When a network device receives an record Domain Name System look-up reply, the network device identifies one or more Interact Protocol addresses of one or more host names specified in the address record Domain Name System look-up reply, then determine whether the one or more host names contain a domain name used in one or more domain name based network policies and create one or more Internet Protocol address based network policies.
