Abstract
Systems/methods of looking up an address of a target server include receiving a first lookup request at a first lookup server that manages a first database that contains data relating to a first plurality of servers. First metadata relating to the target server is retrieved from the first database, and a second lookup request including the first metadata is sent to a second lookup server that manages a second database that contains data relating to a second plurality of servers. The second plurality of servers is a subset of the first plurality of servers and includes the target server. Second metadata relating to the target server is retrieved from the second database, and a response based on the first and second metadata is transmitted to the client. Corresponding systems/methods of binding a server address to a lookup key are also disclosed.
