A method, system and computer program product for transferring data between two applications over a local network connection. The invention establishes a socket connection between the applications and transfers data through the socket connection using a pseudo socket layer interface when the two endpoints of the socket connection are on the same host. Socket application program interface comprises socket buffers for sending and receiving data. A connecting application identifies and establishes a connection with a listening socket, and places data directly in the socket receive buffer of the receiving socket. If the other end of the socket connection is on a remote host, then data is transferred using underlying network facilities.

Efficient data transfer on local network connections using a pseudo socket layer

A computer implemented method, apparatus, system, and computer usable program code for updating a domain name server. In response to detecting a failed network interface in a plurality of network interfaces on a content server, the content server identifies an IP address for the failed network interface. The content server notifies a domain name server that the IP address for the failed network interface is an unreachable IP address. The domain name server does not provide the unreachable IP address to a querying client.

Method and apparatus for updating a domain name server

The present invention provides a computer implemented method for resolving a universal resource identifier (URI). The client computer receives the universal resource identifier, which is comprised of a domain name. The client computer looks up a row corresponding to the domain name in a domain specific domain name service (DNS) server list. The row includes at least a first internet protocol address. The client computer transmits a domain name service (DNS) query addressed to the first internet protocol address responsive to looking up the row. Upon receiving a valid response in at least one packet, wherein the at least one packet is from the first internet protocol address, the client computer resolves the universal resource identifier to a second internet protocol address.
