Abstract
This present disclosure generally relates to managing encrypted network traffic using Domain Name System (DNS) responses. One example includes requesting an address; receiving a response from the resolution server including one or more addresses associated with the domain name; associating with the domain name a particular address selected from the received one or more addresses; receiving a request to resolve the domain name; sending a response to the request to resolve the domain name, the sent response including the particular address associated with the domain name; receiving a secure request for a resource, the secure request directed to the particular address associated with the domain name; and determining that the secure request is directed to the domain name based on the association between the particular address and the domain name.
