In some embodiments of the invention, techniques may make private identifiers for private network resources usable to establish connections to those private network resources from computing devices connected to an outside network. For example, when a computing device is connected to an outside network and attempting to contact a private network resource, DNS may be used to resolve a domain name for the private network resource to an IP address for an edge resource of the private network. Communications may be passed between the computing device and the edge resource according to protocols which embed the identifier originally used to identify the private network resource. The edge resource of the private network may analyze communications over the connection to determine this identifier, and use it to pass the communication to the desired private network resource.

Remote access to private network resources from outside the network

Multiple peer domain name system (DNS) servers are included in a multi-master DNS environment. One of the multiple peer DNS servers is a key master peer DNS server that generates one or more keys for a DNS zone serviced by the multiple peer DNS servers. The key master peer DNS server can also generate a signing key descriptor that identifies the set of one or more keys for the DNS zone, and communicate the signing key descriptor to the other ones of the multiple peer DNS servers.
