Abstract
Example methods and systems for connection establishment in a global server load balancer (GSLB) environment are described. In one example, a computer system may establish a first connection with a first entity and a second connection with the second entity. The first connection may be established based on first parameter information that includes a shared certificate and a first identifier (ID). The second connection may be established based on second parameter information that includes the shared certificate and a second ID. The shared certificate may be shared by multiple entities that include the first entity and a second entity. In response to receiving a first request, a first response may be generated and sent towards the first entity via the first connection. In response to receiving a second request, a second response may be generated and sent towards the second entity via the second connection.
