Abstract
A method includes maintaining first and second mapping data. The first mapping data is from canonical names (CNAMEs) to binding names (BNAMEs), and the second mapping data is from BNAMEs to address information. The method includes using the first mapping data to map a canonical name to a binding name; and then using the second mapping data to map the binding name to corresponding address information.
