A method and system for adding and monitoring a server to an existing server pool are disclosed. A joining server registers with a server within the server pool. The joining server is authenticated by a server within the server pool. When the joining server receives the list of all active servers within the server pool, the joining computes a new identification for itself, assigns that identification to itself, and then determines a caretaker server to monitor the joining server. Once the registration is successful, the newly joined server can communicate within the server pool and keep current of all events and changing conditions of the server pool.
