1. A method for utilizing failover mechanisms for fault tolerance of a mobile traffic management service, the method, comprising:
- responsive to detecting a failed attempt to connect to a proxy server,determining whether the proxy server is reachable;
in response to determining that the proxy server is reachable, initiating a failover process by reconfiguring DNS routing rules;
wherein, the proxy server provides the mobile traffic management service.

Abstract
A mobile device and method to utilize the failover mechanism for fault tolerance provided for mobile traffic management are disclosed. One embodiment includes a method, which may be implemented on a system or a mobile device which responsive to detecting a failed attempt to connect to a proxy server, determines whether the proxy server is reachable. In one embodiment, in response to determining that the proxy server is reachable, initiates a failover process by reconfiguring DNS routing rules.

12. A method for configuring DNS routing rules at a mobile device in a failover process:
-
identifying valid DNS values to be used in case of a failure; in response to detecting failure to connect to a remote proxy at the mobile device, initiating the failover process by, deconfiguring current DNS routing rules; restoring original DNS system properties using the valid DNS values; wherein, the remote proxy facilitates management of device resources for the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A mobile device which utilizes failover mechanisms for fault tolerance of mobile traffic management services, the mobile device, comprising:
-
a processor coupled to a memory unit; the memory unit having instructions stored there on, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to; responsive to detecting a failed attempt to connect to a proxy server, determining whether the proxy server is reachable; in response to determining that the proxy server is reachable, initiating a failover process by reconfiguring DNS routing rules; wherein, the proxy server provides the resource management service. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A machine readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method for configuring DNS routing rules, the method including:
-
identifying valid DNS values to be used in case of a failure; wherein, the valid DNS values are determined from a native operating system of the mobile device; in response to detecting failure to connect to a remote proxy at the mobile device, initiating the failover process by, deconfiguring current DNS routing rules used in communicating with the remote proxy; restoring original DNS system properties using the valid DNS values; subsequent to restoring the original DNS system properties, reconfiguring the DNS routing rules specific to the remote proxy for facilitation of the management of device resources; wherein, the remote proxy facilitates management of device resources for the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (30)
