Claim 13

The method as recited in claim 3 wherein said data set comprises a hypertext transfer protocol request.

Claim 14

In an interconnected computer system network a method of tracking and controlling access to remote record identifiers, said method comprising the steps of: providing a first data set having a rewritten record identifier for a remote record identifier to a local user; responding to a request from said local user for a selected record identifier; determining if said selected record identifier is a rewritten record identifier; determining an actual record identifier for said rewritten record identifier; and requesting a second data set corresponding to said actual record identifier from said interconnected computer system network.

Claim 15

The method as recited in claim 14 wherein said first data set comprises a hypertext markup language based data set.

Claim 16

The method as recited in claim 14 wherein said remote record identifier comprises a uniform record locator.

Claim 17

The method as recited in claim 14 comprising the additional steps of determining that a record identifier is remote and rewriting said remote record identifier.

Claim 18

The method as recited in claim 17 wherein the steps of determining that a record identifier is remote comprises scanning a domain name of said actual record identifier and comparing said domain name to a local domain name wherein said record identifier is remote if said domain name is different than said local domain name.

Claim 19

The method as recited in claim 14 wherein the step of determining an actual record identifier for said rewritten record identifier comprises looking up said actual record identifier by a predetermined index.

Claim 20

The method as recited in claim 19 wherein the step of determining an actual record identifier further comprises a hashing table.

Claim 21

The method as recited in claim 20 wherein said hashing table comprises a minimal perfect hash.

Claim 22

The method as recited in claim 19 wherein the step of determining an actual record identifier further comprises addressing a memory location.

Claim 23

The method as recited in claim 19 wherein the step of determining an actual record identifier further comprises accessing an inode of a disk file.

Claim 24

The method as recited in claim 14 wherein the step of determining an actual record identifier for said rewritten record identifier comprises accessing a disk file by a file name.

Claim 25

The method as recited in claim 24 wherein said disk file contains a domain name of said actual record identifier.

Claim 26

The method as recited in claim 24 wherein said disk file contains said actual record identifier.

Claim 27

The method as recited in claim 14 wherein said request from said local user comprises a hypertext transfer protocol request.

Claim 28

In an interconnected computer system network a method of providing pseudo proxy access for tracking and controlling access to remote uniform record locators, said method comprising the steps of: providing a hypertext markup language based page having a rewritten uniform record locator for a remote uniform record locator to a local user; responding to a request from said local user for a selected uniform record locator; determining if said selected uniform record locator is a rewritten uniform record locator; determining an actual uniform record locator for said rewritten uniform record locator; and requesting a second data set corresponding to said actual uniform record locator from said interconnected computer system network.

Claim 29

The method as recited in claim 28 comprising the additional steps of determining that a uniform record locator is remote by comparing a domain name of said uniform record locator to a local domain name, wherein said uniform record locator is remote if said domain name is different than said local domain name and rewriting said remote uniform record locator.

Claim 30

The method as recited in claim 28 wherein the step of determining an actual uniform record locator for said rewritten uniform record locator comprises looking up said actual uniform record locator by a predetermined index.

Claim 31

The method as recited in claim 30 wherein the step of determining an actual uniform record locator further comprises a hashing table.

Claim 32

The method as recited in claim 31 wherein said hashing table comprises a minimal perfect hash.

Claim 33

The method as recited in claim 28 wherein the step of determining an actual uniform record locator further comprises addressing a memory location.

Claim 34

The method as recited in claim 28 wherein the step of determining an actual uniform record locator further comprises accessing an inode of a disk file.

Claim 35

The method as recited in claim 28 wherein the step of determining an actual uniform record locator for said rewritten uniform record locator comprises accessing a disk file by a file name.

Claim 36

The method as recited in claim 28 comprising the additional steps of determining that a uniform record locator is remote by comparing a domain name of said uniform record locator to compared to a predetermined table of domain names and rewriting said remote uniform record locator.
