Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and domain name server for ad-hoc networks. Embodiments of the present invention provide a mobile router providing connectivity to end users in an ad-hoc network. The mobile router includes a domain name server (DNS server) configured as a master DNS server at a node associated with the mobile router for end users that enter the ad-hoc network through the node. The DNS server stores records of name-address translations for the end users. A management structure of the DNS server at the node includes a domain name for the node coinciding with a domain name at a lowest level in a hierarchy of a domain name system.

A mobile router providing connectivity to end users in an ad-hoc network, the mobile router including:
- a domain name server (DNS server) configured as a master DNS server at a node associated with the mobile router for end users that enter the ad-hoc network through the node, the DNS server storing records of name-address translations for the end users, a management structure of the DNS server at the node including a domain name for the node coinciding with a domain name at a lowest level in a hierarchy of a domain name system.
An ad-hoc network providing connectivity to end users, the ad-hoc network including:
- a first domain name server (DNS server) configured as a master DNS server at a first node associated with a first mobile router for end users that enter the ad-hoc network through the first node;
- and
- a second DNS server configured as a master DNS server at a second node associated with a second mobile router for end users that enter the ad-hoc network though the second node, the first and second DNS servers storing records of name-address translations for the end users, a management structure of each of the first and second DNS servers including a domain name for each of the first and second nodes coinciding with a domain name at a lowest level in a hierarchy of a domain name system, the first mobile router forming a cluster with the second mobile router.
