Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for resolving a domain name. The mechanisms send a request, from a resolver executing on the data processing system, to a name server requesting a resolution of a domain name into an address. A response to the request is received that includes a local address. The local address has a scope that is local to a site and is not global in scope. A determination is made as to whether the local address corresponds to a domain associated with the resolver. Communications are then performed with a device corresponding to the domain name using the local address in response to a determination that the local address corresponds to a domain associated with the resolver.
