Abstract
Systems and methods for DNS resolution based on user identities are provided herein. In the DNS name resolution process, a DNS resolver can construct and send DNS queries to different DNS name servers depending on the identities of the users requesting the name resolution. One embodiment may be a DNS forwarder configured in a home router, where DNS requests from a certain user group (e.g., kids) may be forwarded to OpenDNS Family Shield, while DNS requests from another user group (e.g., parents) may be forwarded to the ISP's default DNS servers or Google Public DNS. In another embodiment, the DNS resolver may be integrated within an authenticating proxy server, wherein the DNS resolver may use different DNS name servers to perform DNS name resolution for different users authenticated by the proxy server.
