A gateway system for distributing requests from multiple terminals to multiple first servers includes a second server device and a name resolution device wherein: an address generating function for generating an IP address from a character string is distributed to the name resolution device, and multiple specified IP addresses are registered in the second server devices; when the name resolution device receives a first request for resolving a name, the name resolution device extracts the access destination URL from the first request, generates an IP address from the character string of the host name of the extracted URL by utilizing the address generating function, and sends the generated IP address to the terminal; and when the terminal sends a second request setting the access destination of the URL for the first server device, to the second server device where the IP address is registered, the second server device transfers that transmitted second request to the first server device based on the URL of the access destination.
