Efficient load balancing for bursty demand in web based application services via domain name services

In this paper, we propose an enhancement to the conventional Round Robin DNS load balancing technique which allows a single domain name to be associated with several web server IP addresses in a rotated order in a server cluster. Once the DNS server resolves the domain name to one of the web server...
