Abstract
Systems and methods for APN-based DNS query resolution for wireless data networks are disclosed. Some implementations include receiving a domain name system (DNS) query for a domain name from a device having a source IP address, the DNS query being associated with an access point name, determining whether the source IP address is within a predetermined IP address range, upon determining the source IP address is within the predetermined IP address range, updating the DNS query to include an updated domain name unique to the predetermined IP address range, forwarding the updated DNS query to a DNS server for resolution, receiving an IP address corresponding to the updated DNS query from the DNS server, the IP address being different from an IP address associated with the DNS query, and providing the device with the IP address corresponding to the updated DNS query.
