Abstract:
1. A method for managing communications for a group of servers, the method comprising: sending, by one or more processors, to each server in the group of servers a request for connection information for generating a set of mappings for a load balancer of the group of servers to replace another set of mappings for another load balancer of the group of servers; responsive to receiving a communication from a client device for the group of servers, determining, by one or more processors, whether a route to a server in the group of servers for the communication received from the client device can be identified from the set of mappings for the load balancer and if not, identifying, by one or more processors, a sub-group of servers in the group of servers that have not yet responded to the request for connection information; and responsive to a determination that the route to the server in the group of servers for the communication received from the client device cannot be identified from the set of mappings while the sub-group of servers includes one or more servers that have not yet responded to the request for connection information, forwarding, by one or more processors, the communication to the sub-group of servers.
