ABSTRACT:
A wireless client in accordance with the invention in range of a suitable wireless access point requests content from a host. The wireless access point routes the initial name resolution request to a local name server that resolves certain host names, actually elsewhere, falsely as addresses on a local network, preferably a private network. The name-server response is sent back to the wireless client, which in turn then sends the request for content to the local address. A router coupled to the wireless access point acts normally to forward the request to a local content server. A local server responds with a copy of content initially synchronized with content available elsewhere. Not all content may be duplicated and some may be unavailable locally. Content may be other than HTML and accessed by various protocols, e.g. FTP, SMTP, Telnet, etc. that utilize hostname resolution services. Wired clients work similarly.
