Abstract
Systems, methods and devices are provided for registering DNS hostnames of Internet host devices for very large domain zones (VLZ) stored on a DNS server on a network, including setting a pseudo-zone as the VLZ, intercepting DNS updates to the pseudo-zone, mapping the entries in the pseudo-zone into a hierarchy of real parent zones and sub-zones using a mapping formula, and translating DNS updates to the pseudo-zone from an original fully qualified domain name (FQDN) into a at least one new FQDNs and adding the at least one new FQDNs to an authoritative DNS Server.

A method of registering DNS hostnames of Internet host devices for very large domain zones (VLZ) stored on a DNS server on a network, comprising:
- setting a pseudo-zone as the VLZ;
- intercepting DNS updates to the pseudo-zone;
- mapping the entries in the pseudo-zone into a hierarchy of real parent zones and sub-zones using a mapping formula;
- and
- translating DNS updates to the pseudo-zone from an original fully qualified domain name (FQDN) into at least one new FQDNs and adding the at least one new FQDNs to an authoritative DNS Server.
