    Abstract :

    Content Delivery Network (CDN) services have to deal with many problems one of which one is content not available at the associated cache servers. In this work it is tried to find a optimized and reliable solution for this problem. The proposed solution is to request the content from other optimum cache server. In this paper we are suggesting to have a monitoring server to maintain availability status of the content and health parameters of all the cache server. In case of the content availability mismatch, with the help of monitoring information monitoring server selects the cache server, which will be utilized to serve the content to the client. This will increase efficiency since users are not getting the content from the origin server instead we are getting it from the one of the cache server which is closest and efficient and reliable.
