Abstract
A domain name server request is received from a local domain name server. Operational performance parameters of a web host and a first content distribution network are received. Aggregate operational performance parameters of a second content distribution network are received. A first record is sent to the local domain name server that indicates the domain name server request is to be handled by the web host on a condition that a performance value is below a predetermined operational performance level threshold. A second record is sent to the local domain name server that indicates the domain name server request is to be handled by the first or the second content distribution network on a condition that the performance value is equal to or above the predetermined operational performance level threshold.
