A determination is made about when the obtained domain name identifies a trusted service and the obtained destination IP address is included in a current host IP address list. The obtained destination IP address is replaced with a new IP address from the current host IP address list when the obtained domain name is determined to be present and the obtained destination IP address is determined to be absent from the current host IP address list. The received request is managed based on one or more network policies, wherein one of the one or more network policies includes providing the client access to the service identified by the obtained domain name hosted at the replaced new IP address.
