Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method that, at a first domain name system (DNS) cluster of a set of DNS clusters, receives a DNS request from a client. The first DNS cluster identifies, based on an identifier of the client in the DNS request, a home DNS cluster of the client. The method forwards the DNS request to the home DNS cluster. The home DNS cluster supplies a DNS response to the client. Identifying the home DNS cluster, in some embodiments, includes performing a hash on the identifier of the client. Supplying the DNS response, in some embodiments, includes receiving a virtual IP (VIP) address associated with one of a plurality of sets of application servers to the client and providing the received VIP address to the client in the DNS response.
