Abstract
Technology related to managing name server data is disclosed. In one example, a method includes receiving a first request for data from a name server service. In response to determining that a locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable, a second request can be sent to a second service. The second service can be different from the name server service. A response from the second service can be authenticated. In response to authenticating the response from the second service, the locally stored version of the requested data can be returned to a client.
Claims20
A method implemented by a network traffic management system comprising one or more network traffic management apparatuses, server devices, or client devices, the method comprising:
- receiving a first request for data from a name server service;
- determining a locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable;
- in response to determining the locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable, sending a second request to a second service different from the name server service;
- authenticating a response from the second service;
- and
- in response to authenticating the response from the second service,
- returning the locally stored version of the requested data to a client.
A system comprising one or more network traffic management modules, networking modules, or server modules, memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon, and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:
- receive a first request for data from a name server service;
- determine a locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable;
- in response to determining the locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable, send a second request to a second service different from the name server service;
- authenticate a response from the second service;
- and
- in response to authenticating the response from the second service, return the locally stored version of the requested data to a client.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions comprising executable code that, when executed by one or more processors, causes the processors to:
- receive a first request for data from a name server service;
- determine a locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable;
- in response to determining the locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable, send a second request to a second service different from the name server service;
- authenticate a response from the second service;
- and
- in response to authenticating the response from the second service, return the locally stored version of the requested data to a client.
A network traffic management apparatus, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored thereon and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the stored programmed instructions to:
- receive a first request for data from a name server service;
- determine a locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable;
- in response to determining the locally stored version of the requested data is unreliable, send a second request to a second service different from the name server service;
- authenticate a response from the second service;
- and
- in response to authenticating the response from the second service, return the locally stored version of the requested data to a client.
