Method and system for load balancing in providing a service. A request for a service, represented by a single IP address, is first received by a router in the network. The router accesses information received from one or more advertising routers in the network. Each of the advertising routers advertises, via the single IP address, the service provided by at least one server in a server pool associated with the advertising router. The advertisement includes metrics indicating a health condition of the associated server pool. The router selects a target router based on, at least in part, the metrics of the server pools associated with the advertising routers to achieve a first level load balancing and forwards the request for the service to the target router. A local server load balancer (SLB) connected with the target router then identifies a target server from the associated server pool to provide the requested service thereby to achieve a second level load balancing.
