Abstract

A method for operating a home gateway that implements hybrid access with a number of interfaces to different access networks includes resolving, by a domain name service (DNS) proxy function of the home gateway, DNS resolution requests received from a client of the home gateway; and returning, by the DNS proxy function, corresponding DNS resolution responses to the client. The DNS proxy function, based on a single DNS resolution request from the client, requests a number of DNS resolutions via different interfaces of the home gateway transparently to the client.
