Abstract
A system relating to distributing content objects to a client computer. One system includes a server, a first content cache, a second content cache and a preference list. The first server is at a first address and the second server is at a second address. The server includes a content object that is copied to the first and second content caches. Originating from a client computer, the preference list includes at least one of the first and second addresses. A multiple address system provides for metadata to be combined with a first location for an object. A port identifier can be added to the address to allow a desired port to be referenced. The port identifier allows a predetermined port to be addressed in response to an inquiry.
