A network of
point of presence servers sharing a
hostname includes a first network probe
server configured to determine traffic loads of a plurality of customer web servers, and configured to determine latency of
web cache servers in the network of
point of presence servers, each of the customer web servers storing a
web page, a first
domain name server coupled to the first network probe
server, configured to receive a request from a user for the
web page at a first web address, the first web address including the
hostname, configured to determine a customer
web server from the plurality of customer web servers that is appropriate for the request, the customer
web server having a
traffic load lower than traffic loads of remaining customer web servers from the plurality of customer web servers, configured to determine an
IP address of the customer
web server, configured to return the
IP address of the customer web server, configured to receive a request from the user for static content on the
web page at a second web address, the second web address including the
hostname, and configured to determine a
web cache server from the network of
point of presence servers that is appropriate for the request, the
web cache server having a latency lower than latency of remaining web cache servers within the network network of point of presence servers, and the web
cache server configured to retrieve the static content, and to provide the static content to the user.
