Abstract
A method, apparatus, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that in an embodiment dynamically allocate client requests to target servers based on prepare messages sent by the target servers. The addresses of target servers are added to a queue in response to the prepare messages from the target servers. A network interface is then prepared to receive an incoming call request from a client. After the call request arrives from a client, one of the addresses is selected from the queue. The call request is then sent through a tunnel to the target server associated with the selected address.
