Abstract
A mechanism for replacing a first internet protocol (IP) address with a second IP address in a response to a request to a server from an application is disclosed. A processing device may receive a request from an application. The processing device may receive a response from the server, where the response includes a first IP address. The processing device may replace the first IP address with a second IP address that is different than the first IP address. The processing device sends the response to the application and assigns a management policy to the second IP address. The management policy is different than a second management policy assigned to a third IP address associated with a second hostname assigned to the server.
