In a system with a terminal sending a request, when a load distributing unit distributes the request to many service providing apparatuses, the load distributing unit becomes a bottleneck of performance and/or a single point of failure. When the load is distributed to the service providing apparatuses without using the load distributing unit, a particular function is required on the terminal side to appropriately select one of apparatuses. A name resolution unit including an address group management table with IP addresses to select, for a request from a terminal, an address from the table to return the address to the terminal and a plurality of service providing apparatuses to which at least zero IP address selected from the table is allocated without duplication are arranged such that each service providing apparatus is allocated with IP addresses according to processing performance thereof, thereby conducting appropriate load distribution.
