And the ability of supporting fault-tolerance for Internet servers is unexpendable in commercial services especially. 　　For this reason, we will examine the scalability problems of Internet server and try to resolve it in this paper by design and implermentation of a component named Scalable Server Broker (SSB) which can integrate multiple servers as a server cluster. This server cluster could be viewed as a single accessible server with the ability of fault resiliency, transparency, load balance and good scalability. 　　The architecture is independent of application, thus various kinds of available servers could be integrated by SSB to provide better performance. We use Scalable WWW server as an example and examine the benchmark by WebSTONE.
