I don’t understand your answer, that’s basically what wmf described. Put a proxy or load balancer in front of your service.

Thanks. I can't upgrade clients to add reconnect functionality, and I can only work on the server side to solve the scaling issue. I think I should refactor my service as you mentioned by separating dedicated connection-managing servers and stateless worker servers such that I can scale workers.

Yupp. I think I misunderstood at first. Now I get it. Thanks all.
