Abstract
A system of a first network, which is intermediate a second network and a third network, connects a host of the second network to a host of the third network. The system includes at least one processor programmed to receive a domain name system (DNS) request for a hostname corresponding to the host of the third network from the host of the second network. An internet protocol (IP) address of the first network allocated and an IP address of the host of the third network is determined from the hostname. The allocated IP address is mapped to the determined IP address and the allocated IP address is returned to the host of the second network in response to the DNS request.
