Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a network device storing an address table. Each of the address table entries is assigned to a respective provisioned index value and an instance of a distributed service. The device is configured to add a new service instance to the address table by obtaining an assignable index value for the new service instance, identifying an assigned index value that is a companion index value to the obtained index value, dividing a packet source address set associated with the companion index value into first and second address subsets, and assigning the first address subset to the service instance entry in the address table associated with the assigned companion index value and the second address subset to an entry in the address table associated with the obtained index value and the newly added service instance.
