AUTOMATIC SUB DOMAIN DELEGATION OF PRIVATE NAME SPACES FOR HOME-TO-HOME VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS

摘要

Methods, systems, and gateways are disclosed for attaching a private name space of a home network (110) to a private name space of another home network (160). A name and an IP address of a remote home network are received via a virtual private network (VPN) tunnel (120) coupling the remote home network and a local home network. The configuration of a DNS server of the local home network is updated to delegate the one or more names of the remote network to a remote gateway of the remote home network. A name and an IP address of the local home network are transmitted via the VPN tunnel to the remote home network. Methods, systems, and gateways are also disclosed for resolving a name request in a private name space of a home network with which a private name space of another home network is attached.
