Abstract
A processing application stored on a processing server receives a request to join an application server from a client device. The processing application identifies a targeted application server from a set of application servers, a private internet protocol (IP) address for the targeted application server, and a port number associated with the targeted application server. The processing application generates a token based at least in part on the private IP address for the targeted application server. The processing application maps the private IP address to a virtual IP (VIP) address. The processing application transmits the VIP address, the private IP address, the port number, and the token to the client device.
