Abstract
A method for providing load balancing for a server cluster using a server dormant mode. Client devices are allowed to conduct transactions with servers when the servers are active. However, the servers are not allowed to accept new transactions in a dormant mode. Thus, an overloaded server can be placed into the dormant mode until the server is no longer overloaded. Loads will be redistributed among other active servers in the cluster while a server is in the dormant mode.
