Abstract

Embodiments of this application disclose a method for parsing a service platform address by a server. The server receives a DNS parsing request sent by a terminal, the DNS parsing request including a to-be-parsed domain name. The server then obtains target IP information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request. When the target IP information has a corresponding target user-defined line, the server obtains a preset first parsing record based on the target user-defined line. The server then sends to the terminal a first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name based on the preset first parsing record. As such, a corresponding IP address range can be defined using a user-defined line, so that a terminal within the IP address range can obtain a specific IP address corresponding to an access domain name, and provide a service to a user within a more accurate range.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for parsing an address of a service platform performed at a server having one or more processors and memory storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising:
receiving, by the server, a domain name system DNS parsing request sent by a terminal, the DNS parsing request comprising a to-be-parsed domain name;
obtaining, by the server, target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request;
determining, by the server, an IP address range including the target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal;
identifying, by the server, a target user-defined line corresponding to the IP address range within a background database, wherein the target user-defined line is preset to be associated with target servers via parsing records for providing predefined services to users of the service platform;
obtaining, by the server, a preset first parsing record based on the target user-defined line, the first parsing record being used to instruct the terminal to establish a communications connection to a first target server of the to-be-parsed domain name; and
sending, by the server to the terminal, a first IP address corresponding to the first target server of the to-be-parsed domain name based on the preset first parsing record.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
after obtaining, by the server, target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request:
determining, by the server, the target user-defined line corresponding to the target IP information based on a correspondence between an IP address range and a user-defined line and that is stored in a background database.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the operation of determining, by the server, the target user-defined line that is of the to-be-parsed domain name and that is corresponding to the target IP information further comprises:
searching, by the server based on the correspondence between an IP address range and a user-defined line, in an IP address range corresponding to a user-defined line of the to-be-parsed domain name, for the target IP information; and
determining, by the server, a user-defined line whose IP address range comprises the to-be-parsed domain name of the target IP information as the target user-defined line corresponding to the target IP information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operation of sending, by the server to the terminal, a first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name based on the preset first parsing record further comprises:
obtaining, by the server, the first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name from the preset first parsing record; and
sending, by the server to the terminal, the first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the server, a user-defined line adding request, wherein the user-defined line adding request carries a to-be-added parsing record; and
storing, by the server, the to-be-added parsing record in the user-defined line adding request into the background database.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
after obtaining, by the server, target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request:
in accordance with a determination that the target IP information does not have the corresponding target user-defined line, searching, by the server, for a second parsing record corresponding to the target IP information based on a preset priority, wherein the second parsing record is used to instruct the terminal to establish a communications connection to a second target server of the to-be-parsed domain name; and
sending, by the server to the terminal, a second IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name based on the second parsing record.

7. A server, comprising:
one or more processors;
memory; and
a plurality of programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the server to perform a plurality of operations for parsing an address of a service platform including:
receiving, by the server, a domain name system DNS parsing request sent by a terminal, the DNS parsing request comprising a to-be-parsed domain name;
obtaining, by the server, target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request;
determining, by the server, an IP address range including the target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal;
identifying, by the server, a target user-defined line corresponding to the IP address range within a background database, wherein the target user-defined line is preset to be associated with target servers via parsing records for providing predefined services to users of the service platform;

obtaining, by the server, a preset first parsing record based on the target user-defined line, the first parsing record being used to instruct the terminal to establish a communications connection to a first target server of the to-be-parsed domain name; and
sending, by the server to the terminal, a first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name based on the preset first parsing record.

8. The server according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of operations further comprise:
after obtaining, by the server, target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request:
determining, by the server, the target user-defined line corresponding to the target IP information based on a correspondence between an IP address range and a user-defined line and that is stored in a background database.

9. The server according to claim 8 , wherein the operation of determining, by the server, the target user-defined line that is of the to-be-parsed domain name and that is corresponding to the target IP information further comprises:
searching, by the server based on the correspondence between an IP address range and a user-defined line, in an IP address range corresponding to a user-defined line of the to-be-parsed domain name, for the target IP information; and
determining, by the server, a user-defined line whose IP address range comprises the to-be-parsed domain name of the target IP information as the target user-defined line corresponding to the target IP information.

10. The server according to claim 7 , wherein the operation of sending, by the server to the terminal, a first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name based on the preset first parsing record further comprises:
obtaining, by the server, the first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name from the preset first parsing record; and
sending, by the server to the terminal, the first IP address corresponding to the to-be-parsed domain name.

11. The server according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of operations further comprise:
receiving, by the server, a user-defined line adding request, wherein the user-defined line adding request carries a to-be-added parsing record; and
storing, by the server, the to-be-added parsing record in the user-defined line adding request into the background database.

12. The server according to claim 11 , wherein the plurality of operations further comprise:
after obtaining, by the server, target Internet protocol (IP) information of the terminal based on the DNS parsing request:
in accordance with a determination that the target IP information does not have the corresponding target user-defined line, searching, by the server, for
