Abstract
A DNS proxy may tag DNS requests from a virtual network with a separating identifier, such as a virtual network ID, before forwarding them to a shared DNS server. This can allow each virtual network to have its own namespace and avoid naming conflicts. The shared DNS server can examine the tagged DNS requests to respond to the DNS requests using the local namespace as identified by the separating identifier.
