Abstract
A load balancer receives a client request from a client device for a connection to an application. The load balancer queries a monitoring server for a list of one or more application servers associated with the application. The monitoring server determines, based on cache state information of the plurality of application servers, the list of one or more application servers. The load balancer establishes a connection on behalf of the client device to one of the application servers.
