Abstract
A system includes a server registry having one or more registered server names of associated network servers, an alias registry having one or more alias server names associated with each of the one or more registered server names, and a name resolution module resolving a requested server and share name to a destination server. Resolving the requested server and share names involves determining whether a requested server is registered and if the requested server is not registered, determining an alias server name corresponding to the requested server name.
