Thanks everyone... I was thinking of a network load balancer..with DNS query... response code 3xx seems to be a nicer option....but as they say..sending a 3xx also needs resources.....everything comes to a standstill after a particular point... What I want to say is that by issuing 503 or 3xx response, what you are doing is moving the limit of your infrastructure from say 100 calls/sec to say 10000 calls/sec.
During say a calamity or natural disaster when avalanche loads are generated, one cannot rely on that...and need to allocate spare resources.... Any idea how PSTN does this??
