1. A computer-implemented method for managing request routing functionality comprising:

  • obtaining registration information at a service provider for registering a content provider with the service provider, the registration information including a registration request by the content provider for the service provider to provide at least a portion of request routing functionality associated with one or more resources provided by the content provider, wherein the registration request for request routing functionality is different from a registration request for hosting or providing content on behalf of the content provider;

    obtaining a DNS query from a client computing device at a first DNS server, wherein the DNS query corresponds to a requested resource associated with a first resource identifier and wherein the first DNS server corresponds to the service provider; and

    providing the client computing device with at least one of an identifier corresponding to a storage component for the requested resource based on supplemental request routing information not included in the first resource identifier or an alternative resource identifier query to resolve to a domain corresponding to the service provider, wherein the alternative resource identifier includes the supplemental request routing information not included in the first resource identifier.
