1. A computing device-implemented method, comprising:
- providing, by the computing device and to a domain name system (DNS), uniform resource locator (URL) information received from a mobile user device;
generating, by the computing device, a redirect query when a redirect error is received from the DNS based on the URL information;
providing, by the computing device, the redirect query to a policy server/accounting database;
receiving, by the computing device and from the policy server/accounting database, information indicating that the mobile user device subscribes to a redirect service and subscriber information associated with the mobile user device;
generating, by the computing device, a device management database (DMD) query based on the subscriber information;
providing, by the computing device, the DMD query to a DMD server;
receiving, by the computing device and from the DMD server, model information associated with the mobile user device;
retrieving, by the computing device, redirect information, for the mobile user device, based on the URL information and the model information;
providing, by the computing device, the URL information and the model information to a landing page portal;
receiving, by the computing device and from the landing page portal, the redirect information based on the URL information and the model information; and

Abstract
A device provides, to a domain name system (DNS), uniform resource locator (URL) information received from a user device, and generates a redirect query when a redirect error is received from the DNS based on the URL information. The device also provides the redirect query to a policy server/accounting database, and receives, from the policy server/accounting database, information indicating that the user device subscribes to a redirect service and subscriber information associated with the user device. A device management database (DMD) query is generated based on the subscriber information, provides the DMD query to a DMD server, and receives, from the DMD server, model information associated with the user device, where the URL information and the model information are used to retrieve redirect information for the user device.
