A network address server is configured to resolve a target network address name label with a network address, with the target address name label defining a branch of one level of a multi-level network address name space. The network address server is one of a plurality of network address servers each being uniquely associated with a respective region of the address name space level. The network server includes an address name database, and an address name processor in communication with the address name database for providing a response to a query for the network address corresponding to the target address name label. The address name database includes a number of database records, each identifying a unique address name label and a network address uniquely associated with the address name label. The address name processor includes a correlation processor, a correlation transceiver in communication with the correlation processor, and a response processor in communication with the correlation processor and the correlation transceiver. The correlation processor is configured to determine a correlation between the target address name label and the respective unique address name region. The correlation transceiver is configured to provide the other network address servers with a respective indication of the determined correlation and for receiving a corresponding correlation indication from at least one of the other network address servers. The response processor is configured to provide a response to the query in accordance with the correlation indications.

Network address server

An electronic mail server is provided to facilitate e-mail communication over a network. The electronic mail server includes an account name database and an account name processor in communication with the account name database for providing a response to a message received over the network. Typically, the message includes an e-mail account name label comprising at least one account name character (having an account name character set type), with the character set type including a non-ASCII compatible character set. The account name database includes a number of database records, each identifying an e-mail account name comprising at least one record character having a record character set type, and a record character set identifier identifying the record character set type. The account name processor includes a correlation processor and a response processor. The correlation processor is configured to determine the correlation between the received e-mail account name/label and the respective e-mail account names in accordance with the associated character set type. The response processor is in communication with the correlation processor and provides the response to the message in accordance with the correlation indication.
