Abstract:
An apparatus and method for domain name services (DNS) for resources in a mainframe environment. The apparatus includes a locally managed DNS server and a DNS protocol to allow a client to request a mainframe resource. In response to the request, the DNS server returns the selected address of a client. Furthermore, the DNS server chooses an available resource most capable of handling the request based on resource performance characteristics.
