Abstract
A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, includes: determining whether a destination for a domain name system (DNS) query corresponds to an existing source network address translation (SNAT) port in response to receiving the DNS query. In response to determining that the destination for the DNS query corresponds to an existing SNAT port, the DNS query is modified to incorporate the existing SNAT port. A map entry corresponding to the existing SNAT port is also updated, and the modified DNS query is satisfied. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described in additional approaches.
