Hello, Thank-you for the useful response. we tried the options but the conclusion is ATS forwards the request to the PoOS in round robin, we are having a requirement that ATS should forward the HTTP request to multiple server at one go. i.e 1 HTTP request sent multiple Servers through ATS at same time. We are thinking to do this with a help of a external network libraries used for generation of HTTP request with in a Plugin. We are using remap configuration. Wanted to know is this is a possible scenario? Also would like to know in this scenario will ATS server provide us the feature of Caching the data?
