A system and method are provided for resource registration and delivery. A local resource is registered on a nonlocal server with an entry which identifies the local resource and contains information for use in locally accessing the local resource. When a local client of a local network local to the local resource requests access to the local resource, the nonlocal server determines that the local client and the local resource are local to each other and provides a response for enabling direct local access by the local client to the local resource.
