A system for mediating Internet service includes a DNS server and a DNS policy engine associated with the DNS server. The DNS policy engine can be configured to apply one or more DNS policies selected by the DNS policy engine to DNS queries received by the DNS server from a client, analyze the DNS query based on predetermined criteria, and based on the analysis, and selectively redirect a data request associated with the client to a proxy server for further mediation. The system can further include a proxy server and a proxy policy engine associated with the proxy server. The proxy policy engine can be configured to apply one or more proxy policies selected by the proxy policy engine to at least one of data requests received by the proxy server from a client and data responses returned to the proxy server from an IP address.

Internet mediation

Systems and methods for resolving domain name system (DNS) queries are provided herein. Methods may include receiving a DNS query from a DNS client via a DNS server, responsive to the DNS query, generating the DNS response utilizing the at least one policy associated with the view, providing the DNS response to the DNS client from which the DNS query was received, and storing the DNS response in a shared cache, the shared cache including previously generated DNS responses that are available to the DNS server, wherein previously generated DNS responses may be provided to DNS clients upon receiving a DNS query corresponding to at least one of the previously generated DNS responses.
