  • CUSTOMIZED DOMAIN NAMES IN A CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK
    Publication number: 20200084083
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, operable in a content delivery network (CDN) including a plurality of cache servers and domain name servers. At a cache server in the CDN, a first domain name is obtained, the first domain name being associated with a client request for a resource from the cache server. One or more values associated with the client request are determined and a second domain name is generated, including information from the first domain name and information relating to the one or more values associated with the client request. The second domain name is provided to the client. A domain name server in the CDN obtains a request to resolve a first domain name; extracts one or more keys and one or more corresponding values from the first domain name, and generates a second domain name based on the first domain name, the second domain name excluding information from the first domain name relating to the one or more keys and the one or more values.
