Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving, by a gateway that provides both satellite-based communications and radio frequency-based communications, a content request from a video client; determining, by the gateway, whether the content request corresponds to a content delivery network (CDN); when the content request corresponds to the CDN, installing, by the gateway, a video on demand (VoD) access point name (APN) route designated for VoD traffic between the video client and an identified location with respect to a server device associated with the CDN, the VoD APN route comprising a VoD APN of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) connected to the gateway via an air interface, communicating, by the gateway, the content request to the CDN via the VoD APN route, intercepting a redirect message received from the CDN via the WWAN, the redirect message including instructions for the video client to direct the content request to an alternate location with respect to the CDN; updating, based on the instructions, the VoD APN route with respect to the identified location and the alternate location; and forwarding the redirect message to the video client; and when the content request does not correspond to the CDN, communicating the content request via an Internet APN route.
