Abstract
A method of resolving a domain name that includes a non-LDH character, involves a client computer receiving a domain name update notification for a first computer server that has a LDH domain name comprising at least one character but excluding non-LDH characters. In response, the client computer downloads a configuration payload from a registration server that maintains an association between the first computer server and a second computer server. The configuration payload links the first computer server to a non-LDH domain name associated with the second computer server and configures the client computer to determine an identification of the second computer server from the first LDH domain name. The non-LDH domain name has at least one non-LDH character. The client computer uses the identification of the second computer server to establish a communication session therewith while displaying the associated non-LDH domain name.
