Abstract
Entities within a cluster are uniquely identified with a node ID and an engine ID. The node ID uniquely identifies a node within a cluster of nodes and the engine ID uniquely identifies one of several engines included in the node. Entities may be further identified with a cluster ID, an engine type ID, and/or a virtual server ID. At least some of these IDs may be included in communications received from clients and used to route the communications to the cluster entity identified by the included IDs.
