A method for managing loads in data clusters includes: identifying, by a first load management module (LMM) of a first data cluster, a load performance decline event associated with the first data cluster; in response to identifying the load performance decline event: selecting a second LMM associated with a second data cluster, wherein the second LMM is associated with an authenticated connection with the first LMM; sending requests to the second LMM using a secure string identifier associated with the authenticated connection, wherein the LMM services the requests using the second data cluster.
