Abstract
A computerized method configures and uses ad hoc servers to serve content. A content server configured to serve a content dataset periodically provides a current server load notification to a domain name server (DNS). Upon detecting that a current load of the content server exceeds a server load threshold, the DNS sends a new server setup notification to the content server. The content server then identifies an ad hoc server and performs a content service handover to the identified ad hoc server. Upon completion of the content service handover, the content server provides a new server notification to the DNS indicating that the identified ad hoc server is ready to serve the content dataset. The DNS is thereby enabled to divert client requests for the content dataset to the ad hoc server during the period that the current load of the content server exceeds the server load threshold.
