In an embodiment, a method configures a network to route data on a first network service that connects a user's network with a service provider network. In the method, an instruction to route data from the network addressed to a hostname on the first network service is received. According to the hostname, a first IP address that addresses a server identified by the hostname is determined. A second IP address is also determined as the second IP address of the specific network service. Finally, a message is sent to the user's network that specifically instructs the user's network to route data addressed to the first IP address to the second IP address. The message causes configuration of a router on the user's network to route data on the first network service. System and computer program product embodiments are also disclosed. 在实施例中，种方法将网络配置为在将用户网络连接到服务提供方网络的第网络服务上路由数据。在该方法中，接收用于在第网络服务上对来自网络的寻址到主机名的数据进行路由的指令。根据主机名，确定对由主机名标识的服务器进行寻址的第IP地址。还确定第二IP地址作为特定网络服务的第二IP地址。最后，向用户网络发送消息，该消息具体地指示用户网络将寻址到第IP地址的数据路由到第二IP地址。该
