Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, at a domain name server for a captive domain, communications from a consumer premise equipment; allowing, at the domain name server for the captive domain, access by the consumer premise equipment to first content in the captive domain and disallowing, at the domain name server for the captive domain, access by the consumer premise equipment to second content in an open domain; configuring the domain name server for the captive domain to allow access by the consumer premise equipment to the second content; and configuring the consumer premise equipment to communicate with a domain name server for the open domain instead of the domain name server for the captive domain, wherein communications from the consumer premise equipment are received by the domain name server for the captive domain, which now allows access by the consumer premise equipment to the second content, before said configuration of the consumer premise equipment becomes active.
