The method (50) comprises receiving (51), in a first network node (11), a request from a client device (2) for a network resource to be used in providing a service, the request comprising at least one criterion relating to the network resource; resolving (52), in the first network node (11), a first part of the request, the first part corresponding to a first criterion relating to the network resource, thereby identifying one or more domains each comprising at least one network resource fulfilling the first criterion, and sending (53), from the first network node (11) to the client device (2), the one or more identifications corresponding to a respective one or more network resource fulfilling the at least one criterion. The disclosure also relates to method in network node, in client device, and to related nodes and devices.
