1. A zone specific domain name system (ZSDNS) associated with an access point of a data access network, said system comprising:
- a DNS query detector to detect DNS queries to a remote DNS server submitted by a data client device through said access point;
control logic circuitry to search a local DNS cache for records relevant or responsive to the submitted query while allowing the submitted query to pass to the remote DNS server; and
a DNS query responder to respond to the DNS query of the data client device in the event records relevant or responsive to the submitted query are identified in said local cache.
