Abstract
A method, computer readable medium, and device for dynamic DNS implementation, comprises receiving, at a network traffic management device, a first DNS response from a DNS server, wherein the first DNS response is compliant with Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The first DNS response corresponds to a first DNS request from a client device being compliant with Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The first DNS response is converted into a DNS second response that is compliant with IPv6, by attaching a prefix that identifies a network gateway device which is to handle receive subsequent non-DNS requests from the client device. The second DNS response is routed to the client device. Subsequent non-DNS requests from the client device that contain at least a part of the prefix allow the network traffic management device to route the non-DNS request through the designated network gateway device.
