Abstract: A method of a first DNS which can update server information in real time without necessarily using a TTL (Time To Live) by recording a network address of the first DNS, which has previously obtained server address information from a second DNS, in a notification list, by the second DNS, and transmitting the changed information from the second DNS to the first DNS recorded in the notification list when the previously obtained/requested server address changes, and updating the server address by the first DNS as provided by the second DNS. A DNS updating server address method may further include providing a first DNS with server address information corresponding to a domain, recording a network address of the first DNS in a notification list, corresponding to the domain and/or the server address information, and transmitting a changed server address information to the first DNS based on the notification list.

Abstract: A message transmission method and device are provided. The message transmission method, which is carried out by a node in a mixed network comprised of a private network including at least one node and a public network, includes: checking whether an address of a destination node to receive a message is recorded in a communication node list of the node, when the address of the destination node is not the address of the node; transmitting the message to the destination node recorded, when it is determined that the address of the destination node is recorded in the communication node list; and transmitting the message and the address of the destination node to a node having an address closest to the address of the destination node among the addresses recorded in the communication node list, when the address of the destination node is not recorded in the communication node list.
