Abstract
A method for load balancing among multiple endpoint computing systems of a domain includes receiving a request to access the domain; identifying a target endpoint from the multiple endpoint computing systems based on routing logic for the domain; obtaining a load metric for the target endpoint; determining whether the load metric for the target endpoint satisfies an overload condition; and redirecting a fractional portion of traffic of the domain away from the target endpoint and to an alternate endpoint of the multiple endpoint computing systems in response to determining that the load metric for the target endpoint satisfies the overload condition.
