Abstract
Managing domain name system services for a plurality of networks is disclosed. A computer identifies information for the plurality of networks to which a client device is connected. The computer receives a request to identify a domain name. In response to the request, the computer selects a particular set of domain name system servers of a particular network in the plurality of networks based on the information for the plurality of networks and a set of rules for selecting the particular set of domain name system servers when identifying the domain name for the Internet protocol address. The computer then sends the request to identify the domain name for the Internet protocol address to a domain name system server in the particular set of domain name system servers.
