A method of redirecting a client request, directed from a client to a first server, to a second server. The client request is received at the second server and automatically forwarded or redirected to the first server. The first server processes the request and generates a result message, which may include a document formatted in a markup language. The first server sends the result message to the second server. A process at the second server identifies, in the result message, references to resources of the first server. The references to resources of the first server are replaced with translated references that reference the second server, and the translated references are sent to the client as a response to the client request. As a result, subsequent client requests that are based on the response or the result message are always directed to the second server rather than to the first server. Accordingly, the second server can prevent the client from communicating directly with the first server.
