Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for caching routing data in a request to provide a service. A front-end server located at a first datacenter receives a request for a service, with the request originating from a client device. In response to receiving the request, the front-end server queries a routing database for routing data identifying a location of one or more computing devices to fulfill the request. The front-end server receives the routing data from the routing database and transmits, based on the routing data received from the routing database, a first subsequent request to a front-end server located at a second datacenter. The subsequent request is appended with the routing data and the front-end server located at the second datacenter utilizes the routing data included in the subsequent request to fulfill the request received from the client device.
