<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide efficient message routing when using server pools. <P>SOLUTION: A system attempts to ensure high availability of servers by enabling clients to specify a domain name for the server pool even though the server pool comprises multiple servers, each having a distinct name. When a client initiates a session by using the server pool's domain name, the system may select an available server with a different name and routes a request and subsequent messages during the session to the selected server. The system may select a server form the pool having the lowest load, may also indicate servers that subsequent messages in the session are to transit and subsequent messages may then be routed to indicated servers to enable applications on the indicated servers to take actions based on the messages and the direction of the messages. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
