Systems and methods for remote file access are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a local agent polls a server for a task request at a polling interval scheduled by a schedule timer in accordance with a set of local agent and remote client preferences. The local agent is responsible for executing a task from the task request and causing a file to be uploaded to the server. The local agent uses a task processor for polling a server, a schedule timer for controlling polling, and one or more protocol stacks, such as TCP/IP and SOAP, for communicating with the server. The local agent can also interface with a MAPI database for message delivery.

A method and apparatus for providing domain name services includes a multi-threaded name server which concurrently handles multiple domain name resolution requests and is particulary well suited for an Internet host system controlling information relating to a very large number of domain names. A database coherency thread continuously refreshes a host name cache that is utilized by the multi-threaded name server. The multi-threaded name server may comprise a request dispatcher thread capable of spawning multiple child threads, resulting in a multi-threaded, non-blocking name server. One or more additional network services are also provided by the system, preferably through a common, centralized database. For example, in one embodiment, electronic message forwarding services are provided. In another embodiment, web services are provided wherein hypertext markup language (HTML) pages are dynamically generated from data in the database corresponding to the requested host name.
