1. A method comprising:
- 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 resource identifier includes a DNS portion and a path portion;
selecting a network computing component for processing the requested resource from a plurality of network computing components based at least in part on a file identifier in the DNS portion of the first resource identifier; and
transmitting information identifying the selected network computing component from the first DNS server to the client computing device.

Abstract
A system, method and computer-readable medium for request routing. A DNS server at a content delivery network service provider obtains a DNS query corresponding to a resource requested from a client computing device and associated with a first resource identifier. The first resource identifier includes a first portion with DNS information and a second portion with path information. The DNS server selects a network computing component for processing the requested resource based on the DNS portion of the resource identifier and transmits information identifying the selected network computing component to the client computing device.
