Connection Manager Load Balancing

Since most MFTIS instances are located on the same computer as the CMA, MFTIS 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 the CMS, CMA will randomly request the connection from one of the control connections already established by the CMS servers. If that request fails, CMA will request 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.
