A method where the server returns responses directly to the client, bypassing the load balancer.
Short for Direct Server Return. A method where response traffic is returned directly from the server rather than routed back through the load balancer, reducing the load balancer's load. It requires the server itself to rewrite the response packet's source IP to the load balancer's virtual IP, which makes it more involved to set up than a plain NAT-based approach.
