1. A method, operable in a system comprising: (i) a switch having a plurality of ports; and (ii) a plurality of servers connected to at least some of the plurality of ports of the switch, each of said servers being addressable by a virtual Internet Protocol (VIP) address, the method comprising: (A) by each of said plurality of servers, maintaining an indication of server load of itself and each other of said plurality of servers, the indication of server load of each server comprising a load category for said server, each said load category being one of a plurality of load categories, wherein said maintaining comprises: (a1) each particular server of said plurality of servers converting a measured load of said particular server to a corresponding particular load category of said plurality of load categories; (a2) each particular server of said plurality of servers providing said corresponding particular load category for said particular server to each of the other servers of the plurality of servers, wherein each server associated with a given load category is considered to have the same load; and (a3) each server of said plurality of servers maintaining, for each of the plurality of servers, said corresponding particular load category; (B) responsive to a connection request from a client to connect to one of said plurality of servers associated with said VIP address, said connection request having been provided via the switch to each server connected to the switch, at least one of said plurality of servers determining which server of said plurality of servers is to handle the connection, wherein the determining is based, at least in part, on identifying a set of candidate servers from a given function of information used to request the connection and on said indication of server load of each of said plurality of servers; and (C) subsequent to the determined server in step (B) establishing a connection with the client, the determined server further determining whether to handle a content request from the client or hand-off the content request to another server, wherein the determining in step (C) is based, at least in part, on a second given function of information associated with a type of resource requested.
