Abstract
An apparatus and a non-transitory computer-readable medium may perform a method of minimizing the disclosure of a domain name contained in a DNS query. The method may include: determining a first label and a second label associated with a domain name included in a DNS query; querying a first nameserver for the first label without revealing the second label to the first nameserver; receiving a response from the first nameserver directing a resolver to a second nameserver; and querying the second nameserver for the first label and the second label.
