1. An apparatus for facilitating communications between a client and a server over a network, said apparatus comprising:

  • a processor coupled with said network, said network operative to transmit a plurality of translation requests including a translation request generated by said client, said translation request comprising an address identifying said server, said translation request being directed, by said client, to an address translator separate from said processor, said address translator being coupled with said network;

    said processor being operative to selectively intercept said translation request from among said plurality of translation requests prior to receipt by said address translator, said selective interception being determined based on a criteria other than only that said translation request is one of said plurality of translation requests;

    wherein said address translator is operative to translate said address into a translated address when said translation request is not selectively intercepted, and return said translated address to said client via said network thereby facilitating said communications between said client and said server; and

    said processor being operative to analyze said selectively intercepted translation request and delete said selectively intercepted translation request based on said analysis.
