One choice uses layer 7 inspection, which allows routing based on path or host. Another choice focuses on lower-level transport data, which does not provide the same depth of inspection. A cluster alone does not analyze request data to distribute traffic. A global manager can shift requests between locations but is not ideal for path-based routing in one environment.
