1. A method comprising: binding, using a plurality of processors, a process to a wildcard address and a port on each of a plurality of nodes that are part of a cluster; receiving, by the process on a redirector node, a first request for a first address of a first volume located on the cluster from a first client, wherein the first request is sent to the port and a first address associated with a first virtual local area network (VLAN) that is not the wildcard address; determining, by the process on the redirector node, the first address from the first request; determining, by the process on the redirector node, a name of the first VLAN based on the first address; determining, by the process on the redirector node, a first node that contains information regarding the first volume; determining, by the process on the redirector node, an address of the first node that is part of the first VLAN based upon the name of the first VLAN; determining, by the process on the redirector node, that a volume identifier (ID) associated with the first volume of the first request is present on a volume list; and returning, by the process on the redirector node, the address of the first node to the first client.
