A method and apparatus for improving the performance of a proxy array to access and retrieve information from a server. Specifically, when a proxy receives a request for a resource, such as a Web page, the proxy first determines it has established a persistent connection with the server on which the Web page resides. If the receiving proxy does not have a persistent connection, if another proxy has established a persistent connection to that server. If there is an established connection, the proxy that received the request instructs the other proxy to retrieve the requested data from the server and transfer the data to the client. Otherwise, if there is no existing persistent connection, the proxy creates a persistent connection to the desired server. |
