Abstract
A domain name server includes a zone file containing partitioning rules that define the partitioning of all subfolders of this domain into subzones. The DNS data of each of these subzones is hosted by a partition server that is able to obtain from the zone file information for identifying the partition server able to respond to a query sent by a client to obtain a DNS folder.
