    Abstract: A method for web service load balancing may commence with receiving, from a local DNS server, a request for a web service. The local DNS server may be coupled to a web client requesting the web service. The request may include local DNS server information. The method may continue with determining a geographic location of the local DNS server based on the local DNS server information. The method may further include selecting a web server from a plurality of web servers based on the web service. The method may continue with determining a geographic location of the web server and determining that the geographic location of the local DNS server matches the geographic location of the web server. The method may further include selecting the web server based on the match. The method may continue with sending a response to the local DNS server.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for facilitating access to a remote cloud service via a cloud controller for a distributed filesystem. Two or more cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in the cloud storage systems; the cloud controllers ensure data consistency for the stored data, and each cloud controller caches portions of the distributed filesystem. During operation, a cloud controller detects a request from a co-located client to access a network address that is in the same subnet of their local network. The cloud controller determines that the network address is associated with the remote cloud service (which executes in a cloud storage environment) and forwards the request to the remote cloud service.

    Abstract: There are provided measures for enabling/realizing an integrity check of a DNS server setting, thereby enabling/realizing detection of DNS hacking or hijacking. Such measures could exemplarily include triggering a DNS resolution operation by a service device configured to provide a service using the DNS server setting, wherein the DNS server setting is used for DNS resolution or DNS forwarding in service provisioning, acquiring the IP address of a DNS server device, which is configured to perform DNS resolution in service provisioning, by reading the IP address of the DNS server device included in a DNS message as part of the triggered DNS resolution operation by the service device, and processing the acquired IP address of the DNS server device for evaluating integrity of the DNS server setting used in service provisioning.
