Abstract
A method controls the routing of service requests to a plurality of servers using a first routing distribution algorithm. The method includes waiting a first period of time for a designated server to respond to a service request, transmitting the service request to the designated server a second time, and waiting a second period to time for the designated server to respond to the service request assigned to the designated server, the second period of time being longer than the first period of time. The method also includes determining that the designated server has failed, rerouting the service request to a different server, and routing the service requests to the plurality of servers using a second routing distribution algorithm.
