Abstract
The invention comprises methods and apparatus for implementing a name service. In the present invention, a name service compliant with the CORBA CosNaming specification may be implemented which incorporates load balancing. This invention involves a name service having a data store and a data store interface which are not necessarily configured for the persistent storage of information. This invention further involves creating a load balancing index within the data store interface and using name-overloading to create names containing a load balancing name identifier which may be used for referencing in the load balancing index. The data store interface of this embodiment could also include a specific bind operation, a specific resolve operation, or both.
