Abstract: One or more embodiments provide a system and method for DNS that is resistant to losses of network connections. In some particular embodiments, DNS servers are operated to maintain consistency of DNS records between the multiple master servers in response to connection failure. Each master DNS server monitors network connectivity by periodically testing network connections of the master server (e.g., to other master servers) to determine whether the master DNS is isolated in a manner that prevents updates from being distributed between the master DNS servers. In response to detecting network isolation of the master DNS server, the master DNS server is configured to enter the isolation mode, in which the master DNS monitors the status of connections and takes appropriate actions to update and/or recover DNS data when connections are restored.

Abstract: There is provided methods, devices and computer program products for distributing a plurality of virtual IEEE 802.11 wireless networks through a heterogeneous infrastructure. A terminal sends a service provider request to an access point. The service provider request is forwarded to a master server which searches for available service providers. Acknowledgement information relating to available service providers capable of operatively connecting the terminal to the data communications network via the access point is sent by the master server to the access point. The access point forwards this information to the terminal. The access point may thus distribute a plurality of virtual IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, their number only constrained by the number of distinct identifiable service providers and the memory of the master server. A data connection may be established in the absence of a direct service agreement between the service provider of the terminal and the operator of the access point.
