Abstract
A computer-implemented method in a content delivery (CD) network includes determining at least one pseudo client IP address using first log information and second log information. The first log information being from a rendezvous service in the content delivery (CD) network, and includes at least one resolver IP address associated with at least one first request made at the rendezvous service. The second log information is from at least one probe service in the CD network, and includes at least one client IP address associated with at least one second request to the at least one probe service. The method also includes making an association between (i) the at least one pseudo client IP address and (ii) the at least one resolver IP address; and then, responsive to a name resolution request, the name resolution request including the at least one resolver IP address, the rendezvous service using the at least one pseudo client IP address instead of the resolver IP address to resolve the name.
