Abstract
A server system for a domain name system (DNS) which operates to concurrently provide both public-facing and restricted channels for receiving and handling Internet Protocol (IP) address requests from a population of computers. The server system implements an alternative DNS request handling process to provide a trusted computer entity with exclusive access to the restricted channels.
