Abstract:
Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for maintain a routing table. The routing table may comprise a routing statement associated with a destination. The routing statement may comprise a domain identifier, such as a URL, for the destination and a gateway identifier, such as an IP address, for a gateway through which communication traffic to the destination may be routed. During routing of a request, an IP address for the destination may be dynamically resolved based upon the domain identifier within the routing statement. The IP address may be cached for a restricted period of time so that subsequent requests may utilize the cached IP address. Because the routing statement is based upon a domain identifier (e.g., as opposed to a hardcoded static IP address), the routing statement may remain valid even though an IP address of the destination may change.
