Managing request routing information utilizing performance information

A method for processing content comprising:

• obtaining, by a service provider computing system, performance information associated with processing of requests for resources from at least one class of client computing devices;
• generating at least one list based, at least in part, on the performance information, wherein a generated list identifies point of presence servers associated with a class of the at least one class of client computing devices;
• obtaining, by the service provider computing system, a domain name service request from a client computing device;
• determining, by the service provider computing system, a class of computing devices of the at least one class of client computing devices associated with the client computing device;
• determining, by the service provider computing system, whether a list is associated with the determined class of computing devices;
• if a list is determined to be associated with the determined class of computing devices, resolving, by the service provider computing system, the domain name service request by identifying at least one point of presence server associated with the determined class of client computing devices from the list;
• and
• if a list is not determined to be associated with the identified class of computing devices, resolving, by the service provider computing system, the domain name service request based, at least in part, on location information associated with the request.

A computer-implemented system for processing content, the system comprising:

• an electronic data store configured to store performance information associated with at least one class of computing devices, wherein the performance information is associated with requests for content;
• and
• a computing system in communication with the electronic data store and comprising a processor, the processor configured to execute specific computer-executable instructions to at least:
• generate at least one list based, at least in part, on the performance information, wherein a generated list identifies point of presence servers associated with a class of the at least one class of computing devices;
• obtain a domain name service request from a client computing device;
• determine a class of computing devices of the at least one class of computing devices associated with the client computing device;
• determine whether a list is associated with the identified class of computing devices;
• if a list is determined to be associated with the determined class of computing devices, resolve the domain name service request by identifying at least one point of presence server associated with the determined class of client computing devices from the list;
• and
• if a list is determined not to be associated with the determined class of computing devices, resolve the domain name service request based at least in part on location information associated with the request.
