System, method and program product for providing invisibility to a proxy-server

摘要

A method is disclosed for providing "invisibility" to the compulsory gateway of an IP network, comprising a clustered proxy-server including an inverse load balancer. When individual servers have to access, transparently, resources available on remote content-servers on behalf of a user, an inverse load balancer keeps track of which individual server is in charge of the user request and steers the response through the cluster to the user.
