An enhanced service DNS server may receive service requests and interface with an integrated metadata repository/policy definition server to determine service policies associated with the service request. The service policies may aid the enhanced service DNS server in determining if a requestor associated with the service is authorized to receive the service and if the service requestor is authorized to receive the service, the service policies may detail how the enhanced service DNS server may route the service request to the appropriate service provider over the network. This scheme may help to automate the process of implementing changes to services provided over a network.
