First Claim
1. A method of load balancing based on a number of Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) users, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving, by a device, a first number of Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) users of a first site of a plurality of sites distinguished from users of the first site that are not SSL VPN users;
(b) receiving, by the device, a second number of SSL VPN users of a second site distinguished from users of the second site of the plurality of sites that are not SSL VPN users; and

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and a method for global server load balancing of a plurality of sites based on a number of Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Network (SSL VPN) users. The SSL VPN users may access servers at each of the plurality of sites. A global server load balancing virtual server (GSLB) may receive a request to access a server. The GSLB virtual server may load balance a plurality of sites wherein each of the plurality of sites may further comprising a load balancing virtual server load balancing users accessing the server accessing servers via an SSL VPN session. GSLB may receive from a first load balancing virtual server at a first site, a first number of current SSL VPN users accessing servers from the first site via SSL VPN sessions. The GSLB may also receive from a second load balancing virtual server at a second site, a second number of current SSL VPN users of the users accessing servers from the second site via SSL VPN sessions. GSLB may determine to forward the request to one of the first load balancing virtual server of the first site or the second load balancing virtual server of the second site by load balancing SSL VPN users across the plurality of sites based on the first number of current SSL VPN users and the second number of current SSL VPN users.
