Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products for distributed computing systems. Techniques for dynamic service location discovery operate in environments having a first computing system that hosts a client and a second computing system that hosts a service. A service discovery request is transmitted from the first computing system to access a service that is hosted at the second computing system. An IP address corresponding a next IP hop on a route to the IP address of the service is resolved. After traversing the next IP hop, the second computing system that hosts the service receives the service discovery request and responds with an IP address of the service. In accordance with these techniques, the determination of the IP address of the service is performed at a computing system that is different from the first computing system.
