Content delivery methods and systems

A non-transitory computer readable media comprising computer executable instructions to perform a method of managing content delivery in a computer network comprising:

• receiving a selection of one or more property parameters associated with a pre-established property template, the pre-established property template associated with processing a content request to a content delivery network, the selection being received from a customer of an aggregator of services of a content delivery network;
• receiving an origin and an alias of the origin, the origin for obtaining content of the customer of the aggregator of services of the content delivery network, the alias of the origin used by the customer of the aggregator for designating content to be served by the content delivery network;
• establishing at least one first domain name system (DNS) record outside authoritative name servers of the content delivery network, the at least one first DNS record creating an association between the alias of the origin and the origin such that a fill request from the content delivery network may be processed at the origin;
• connecting the alias of the origin to a virtual IP address bound to the pre-established property template such that a request for content received at the alias of the origin is resolved to the virtual IP address to provide the requested content in accordance with the selected one or more property parameters of the pre-established property template;
• and
• receiving a content request for content of the customer of the aggregator of services of the content delivery network, the content request received at the virtual IP address bound to the pre-established property template such that the content request may be processed in accordance with the selected parameters and without the content delivery network maintaining a direct property for the customer of the aggregator.

An apparatus comprising:

• a hardware system comprising:
• at least one processor;
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor and operable to store instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform the steps of:
• receiving a selection of one or more property parameters associated with a pre-established property template, the pre-established property template associated with processing a content request to a content delivery network, the selection being received from a customer of an aggregator of services of a content delivery network;
• receiving an origin and an alias of the origin, the origin for obtaining content of the customer of the aggregator of services of the content delivery network, the alias of the origin used by the customer of the aggregator for designating content to be served by the content delivery network;
• establishing at least one first domain name system (DNS) record outside authoritative name servers of the content delivery network, the at least one first DNS record creating an association between the alias of the origin and the origin such that a fill request from the content delivery network may be processed at the origin;
• connecting the alias of the origin to a virtual IP address bound to the pre-established property template such that a request for content received at the alias of the origin is resolved to the virtual IP address to provide the requested content in accordance with the selected one or more property parameters of the pre-established property template;
• and
• receiving a content request for content of the customer of the aggregator of services of the content delivery network, the content request received at the virtual IP address bound to the pre-established property template such that the content request may be processed in accordance with the selected one or more property parameters and without the content delivery network maintaining a direct property for the customer of the aggregator.
