Abstract:
In some examples, a telecommunications-network packet gateway can receive, from a terminal via a packet tunnel, a lookup request for a network address associated with a server name. The packet gateway can determine a profile identifier associated with the packet tunnel and retrieve, from a policy server, an associated profile type. The packet gateway can then select a nameserver associated with the profile type, and forward the lookup request to the nameserver. The nameserver can store a name list. Upon receiving a request, the nameserver can determine whether the server name is included in the name list and, in response, send a reply. In some examples, the packet gateway receives a request from the terminal for content, determines a profile type, selects a destination server associated with the profile type, and forwards the request to the destination server.
