The MySQL Load Balancer is an application that communicates with one or more MySQL servers and provides connectivity to those servers for multiple clients.

Ben Ramsey » Blog Archive » HTTP Status: 100 Continue
The 100 Continue status code is an informational response that tells the client application it can continue sending the request. In short, the client can make an abbreviated request of the service to check whether or not it should continue making the full request. The service can then respond either “yes” (100 Continue) or “no” (417 Expectation Failed) with an explanation of why not. In RESTful Web Services, Richardson and Ruby refer to this as a “look-before-you-leap” (LBYL) request.
