1. A system comprising:
- a local routing mechanism configured to route transactions between wireless communication devices (WCDs) and content server devices, wherein the WCDs are served by a local radio access network; and
a decision point configured to select a local content server device or a remote content server device with which at least some transactions involving a particular WCD are to be routed, and to instruct the local routing mechanism to route the transactions between the particular WCD and the selected content server device, wherein the selected content server device is selected based on at least one characteristic of the particular WCD or an occurrence of a particular event impacting the system, and wherein the local content server device contains at least some content that is also contained by the remote content server device.

Abstract
An occurrence of a particular event related to a local radio access network may be detected. The local radio access network may be configured to provide wireless service to WCDs. Possibly in response to the occurrence of the particular event, a local content server device or a remote content server device may be selected. At least some transactions involving a particular WCD served by the local radio access network may be routed between the particular WCD and the selected content server device. The local content server device may contain at least some content that is also contained by the remote content server device.
