Connection Manager Load Balancing

Because most Internet Server instances are located on the same computer as CMA, Internet Server connects to the first available CMA. If the first CMA is not available, it connects to the next defined CMA.

When CMA needs to request a connection from CMS, CMA randomly requests the connection from one of the control connections already established by the CMS servers. If that request fails, CMA requests the connection from another CMS control connection.

CMA and CMS servers do not use substantial amounts of CPU or memory, so load balancing is not generally beneficial.
