Abstract
The present invention provides computer software, hardware, and systems for use as, or as part of, an Internet lookup engine that eliminates the need for initial consultation with the DNS system. The software of the invention enables client applications (e.g., web browsers, email clients, etc.) to make a persistent or apparent session-level connection with the Internet lookup engine, and may be part of the Internet lookup engine, an API, plug-in, and/or add-on. Information about a client application (collected from previous sessions) may be applied to each new session to create permanence or apparent permanence for the user from session to session. Methods of doing business are also disclosed using the principles of the present invention.
