Hi Kapil, Thank you for fast turnaround response. You understand partially our requirement. We don't want to know which server in the group B is the leader, we want that the server A will send request to the group of servers of a group and only one server from group B (that is the leader) will pick up the requests and other server would be standby. If the leader goes down other group's member will take the place of leader and will get the requests.
Server A don't know which server from group B is the leader, thus server A send requests to the group (concatenation of all group members ip1:port1,ip2:port2,...,ipn:portn).
