Summary:Embodiments of the invention provide a system, method and devices. A communication network may comprise several network elements and may be adapted to route a connection via a first network element such as a radio network controller and one or more of alternatively selectable second network elements such as serving nodes. A network element may store a list of selectable second network elements. The list may be accessed using an identifier identifying a routing or location area or a desired second network element. The list can be stored in a domain name system, DNS, server which may return to an inquiring network element such as a radio network controller e.g. internet protocol, IP, addresses of serving nodes capable of serving a routing or location area of a connection originating or terminating network element.
