Abstract
A method and apparatus for supporting enterprise addressing in networks are disclosed. For example, the method creates a Domain Name System (DNS) service record and loading said DNS service record in a public DNS server for a customer, wherein the DNS service record supports a mapping of a domain name of the customer to a sub-domain name of a service provider. The method receives a call destined to a customer endpoint device for the customer; and forwards the call to the customer in accordance with the DNS service record.
