1. A method for processing a request at a first server to form a modified request that is directed to a second server, the first and second servers being coupled to a network, comprising: identifying an initial hostname portion of the request, the initial hostname portion being associated with a network address of the first server; retrieving, from storage associated with the first server, a replacement hostname portion for the request based on a port number that is uniquely associated with the second server, the port number further comprising a suffix, associated with the request, which identifies a hostname of the second server, and where the replacement hostname portion is associated with a network address of the second server; replacing the initial hostname portion with the replacement hostname portion to form the modified request; performing a hostname lookup, based on the replacement hostname portion, to obtain an address of the second server; establishing a connection to the second server based on the address of the second server; and forwarding the modified request to the second server using the replacement hostname portion.

The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving information associated with the modified request from the second server, where the information includes at least one link to an additional network resource; modifying the at least one link to form modified received information and to associate the at least one link with the first server; and providing the modified received information to a requestor that issued the request.
