Abstract
A Domain Name System (“DNS”) package and a method for providing domain name resolution services in a partitioned network are disclosed. The system may include one or more built-in root name servers; one or more built-in top level domain (“TLD”) name servers; and a recursive name server. The recursive name server may be configured to query the one or more built-in root name servers during domain name resolution. Moreover, the one or more built-in root name servers may be configured to provide a network address corresponding to one of the built-in TLD name servers in response to a domain name resolution query sent by the recursive name server.
