Claim:
1. A method comprising: establishing a communication session with a first server, wherein data within the session travels through a second server; detecting a first global unique identifier (GUID) associated with the communication session, wherein the first GUID is created by a client for establishing the communication session; generating a second GUID for the client for establishing the communication session, wherein the second client GUID is generated by the second server during the establishment of the communication session; associating, in a GUID map table maintained at the second server, the second GUID with the first GUID; providing the second GUID to the first server for consummating the communication session; receiving a first lease for a file accessible by the first server, wherein the first lease comprises a lease key, wherein the first sever generates the lease key in response to the first GUID generated from the client, associates the generated lease key with the second GUID generated by the second server, and sends the lease key to both the client and the second server; and receiving a first lease break notification, wherein the first lease break notification is associated with the lease key and the second GUID.
