Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product for load balancing network traffic. First network address translation rules are executed with respect to a first data packet of the network traffic to translate initial address space data thereof, with respect to an initial destination network address and port identifier. An entry is generated with respect to the first data packet that includes data related to the translated destination network address and port identifier, and an initial source network address and port identifier. A second data packet is received from a client. The generated entry is identified and implemented in executing second network address translation rules with respect to the second data packet, to translate address space data thereof with respect to an initial destination network address and port identifier, for routing thereof to the host, and upon servicing, for routing thereof directly to the client.
