Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes providing a mapping between a set of two or more IP addresses and a set of two more servers. A weight recommendation for the servers is received, based at least in part on server data related to current states of the servers, where the weight recommendation represents a goal for distributing a plurality of transactions among the servers. The mapping is modified based at least in part on the weight recommendation. A transaction is received, directed toward a first IP address of the two or more IP addresses. The transaction is routed to a first server, of the two or more servers, associated with the first IP address according to the modified mapping.
