Abstract
Multiple hit load balancing provides a quasi-persistent request distribution for encrypted requests passing over secure connections as well as for multiple requests passing over the same connection. The multiple hit load balancing involves tracking object demand at each server of a set of servers. The multiple hit load balancing further involves dynamically scaling the servers that cache and directly serve frequently requested objects based on the demand that is tracked by each of the servers. For infrequently requested objects, the servers perform a peer retrieval of the objects so to limit the number of the same object being redundantly cached by multiple servers of the set of servers.
