Abstract

In one embodiment, a computer system stores entries for one or more instances of an application with keys generated for the instances in storage. The instances of the application are instantiated on the computer system. The computer system receives a request from the application with a current key for a current instance and parses the storage to determine if the current key is stored in the keys associated with the application. The computer system returns a response to the application with an indication whether the current key is stored as an entry in the one or more entries. The application uses the response to determine a redirection action to one of the one or more instances of the application when the current key is associated with an instance other than the current instance.
