Abstract
A system and method for storing and utilizing routing information in a computer network. Instances of a first network address may be created on each of N nodes in the network. Routing information for routing messages to the first network address may be stored on a first node. The first node may be operable to route a first message to the first network address using the routing information so that the message reaches each of the N nodes that have an instance of the first network address. However, the routing information stored by the first node may comprise information regarding less than all N instances of the first network address.
