Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing localized content delivery for users gaining network access through a first data network, the first data network comprising (i) a caching server and (ii) a first Domain Name System (DNS) server for initiating resolution of DNS requests that originate from the users operating within the first data network, the computer-implemented method comprising: caching to the caching server, substitute content that is different than original content of a particular content provider operating within a different second data network, wherein content of the particular content provider is identified by a particular domain; modifying an entry of the first DNS server of the first data network based on said caching of the substitute content by the caching server, wherein said modifying reconfigures the first DNS server to resolve any request directed to the particular domain to the caching server without modifying a second DNS server that (i) is authoritative for the particular domain or (ii) operates outside the first data network; resolving a new request directed to the particular domain at the first DNS server based on the modified entry by identifying the caching server in response to the new request, said resolving occurring without reference to another DNS server including the second DNS server that is authoritative for the particular domain; and passing the substitute content from the caching server in response to the new request.
