begun communicating with a particular dcn 202 it reports further data to the same dcn 202 for the remainder of the current session for future sessions however another dcn 202 may be chosen in some embodiments if a dcn 202 does not respond to a request in a timely manner the request is forwarded to a secondary dcn 202 thus for a particular request various dcns 202 may be designated as primary secondary tertiary and the like referring also to fig3 there is shown one example of a system 300 for routing website traffic data to a selected one of the dcns 202 by using one or more local domain name system dns servers 301 user 112 interacts with client machine 107 which runs browser 110 for accessing web pages in response to a user 112 command client machine 107 issues a web page request 111 that is transmitted via the internet to content server 101 in response to request 111 content server 101 transmits html code 102 to client machine 107 browser 110 interprets received html code 102 to display the requested web page on client machine 107 as discussed above html code 102 includes a pointer to an element such as a transparent single pixel image that is used for traffic data collection purposes for illustrative purposes the invention is described herein with reference to a single pixel image although one skilled in the art will recognize that other types of elements or resources may be used in response to the pointer.
