摘要:
Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for resolving hostnames on a private network with a distributed DNS server configuration. One embodiment of the invention provides for a client resolver configured to communicate with a distributed network of servers. The client resolver receives a hostname query and determines if the hostname query is of the type single label hostname or fully qualified hostname. If the hostname query received is of the type fully qualified hostname, the client resolver routes the hostname query to a server with a longest matching domain suffix. If the hostname query received is of the type single label hostname the client resolver generates one or more new fully qualified hostnames and routes the hostname query to each server on the private network.

Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for configuring a network device on a private network. A network device broadcasts a status message to the private network. The network device receives a request from a client and sends a response. The network device and the client establish a direct message route wherein one or more network configuration settings are exchanged between the client computer and the network device.

The invention relates to a wide area network implemented on a circuit-switched public data network. Terminals have access to a plurality of data channels and a control channel into the network using a balanced protocol. The invention provides a method for reducing connect time between the terminals over the data channels. To do this a conversation is established between a transaction program on the local terminal and a transaction program on the remote terminal. Responsive to generation of a frame for transmission by the transaction program on the local terminal to the transaction program on the remote terminal, a channel connection between the local terminal and a remote terminal including a data channel connecting each terminal into the wide area network is established if no channel connection already exists. Responsive to expiration of a predetermined period after last transmission or receipt of a frame and existence of the channel connection for a minimum connect period, the channel connection is disestablished without interrupting the conversation between the transaction programs. The predetermined period and the minimum connect period are optimized to minimize costs under a tariff structure for the circuit-switched public data network.
