Abstract
In managing communications for a group of servers, each server in the group of servers receives a request from one or more processor units for connection information for generating a set of mappings for a load balancer of the group of servers to replace another set of mappings for another load balancer of the group of servers. A sub-group of servers, in the group of servers, is created comprising servers that have not yet responded to the request for connection information. Responsive to a determination that a route to the server in the group of servers for a communication received from a client device cannot be identified from the set of mappings for the load balancer while the sub-group of servers includes one or more servers that have not yet responded to the request for connection information, the sub-group of servers receives the communication from the one or more processors.
