A load balancing method by a load balancing device providing a load balancing service to a group of servers. A service access request message sent by a client terminal is received at the load balancing device, wherein a source Internet Protocol address of the request message is an Internet Protocol address of the client terminal of a first protocol version. A server is selected from the group of servers to send the request message. A determination is made as to whether the first protocol version is same as a second protocol version of an IP address of the selected server. If determination is affirmative, the request message is sent to the selected server. Otherwise, network address translation is performed to replace the source Internet Protocol address of the request message with an Internet Protocol address of the second protocol version configured on an interface between the load balancing device and the group of servers, and the request message is sent to the selected server. |
