Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for supporting edge data network discovery. One apparatus receives a first request from a function in a mobile communication network, the first request including a UE ID and a UE network address. The apparatus may determine whether the UE is located in a first service area based at least in part on a UE location and forward a DNS request to a first DNS server associated with the first service area based at least in part on a determination that the UE is located in the first service area. The apparatus may further receive a DNS reply and transmit a second request to a policy function in the mobile communication network based at least in part on a determination that the DNS reply includes a first IP address.
