Abstract

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided proxy mechanisms and methods for utilizing an identifier of a request to route the request to a networked device. These proxy mechanisms and methods for utilizing an identifier of a request to route the request to a network device can avoid delays associated with using DNS to route requests, while further reducing a number of IP addresses necessary for routing such requests to various network devices.
