Abstract
A method for providing information stored on a primary network server to clients linked to the server through a distributed hypertext Internet or intranet network wherein stored information is contained in hypertext documents or 'web' pages. One or more satellite servers, each containing a copy of the information contained in the primary server are placed strategically throughout the network so as all potential clients are close to a server. The primary or 'home' server examines the IP address, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a requesting browser client to determine the satellite server closest to the client. The home server then returns a home page to the requesting client which includes embedded links pointing only to the satellite server closest to the requesting client and the copy of information, i.e., duplicate web pages, contained therein.
