Abstract
Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide for exchanging messages directly between a client and a selected server regardless of the use of a load balancer. The client generates a message to bypass performing load balancing functionality at the load balancer, and sends the message to the load balancer. The load balancing functionality is bypassed and the message is sent directly to the selected server by the load balancer.
