A system comprising: control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is operable to maintain statistics regarding file system requests sent by one or more client devices of a plurality of client devices to one or more IP addresses of a set of IP addresses, wherein each IP address of the set of IP addresses is an address of one of a plurality of computing devices and each one of the plurality of client devices is allocated a respective subset of the set of IP addresses to be used as a destination address for one or more file system requests, and wherein prior to a network event: a first server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a first plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, a second server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a second plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, and a third server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a third plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, and wherein subsequent to the network event (510, 514), based on the statistics maintained by the control circuitry: a first portion of the first plurality of IP addresses is reassigned to the second server (512, 516), and a second portion of the first plurality of IP addresses is reassigned to the third server (512, 516). control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is operable to maintain statistics regarding file system requests sent by one or more client devices of a plurality of client devices to one or more IP addresses of a set of IP addresses, wherein each IP address of the set of IP addresses is an address of one of a plurality of computing devices and each one of the plurality of client devices is allocated a respective subset of the set of IP addresses to be used as a destination address for one or more file system requests, and wherein prior to a network event: a first server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a first plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, a second server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a second plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, and a third server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a third plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, a first server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a first plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, a second server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a second plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, and a third server of the plurality of computing devices is operable to serve a file system request destined to any of a third plurality of IP addresses of the set of IP addresses, and wherein subsequent to the network event (510, 514), based on the statistics maintained by the control circuitry: a first portion of the first plurality of IP addresses is reassigned to the second server (512, 516), and a second portion of the first plurality of IP addresses is reassigned to the third server (512, 516). a first portion of the first plurality of IP addresses is reassigned to the second server (512, 516), and a second portion of the first plurality of IP addresses is reassigned to the third server (512, 516).
