The present invention provides a system and method is disclosed for the development and maintenance of a globally distributed state session table wherein a plurality of client connections from one network are stored in a plurality of computer systems to track the aforementioned connection to one or more secondary networks. Client connection requests may originate anywhere on the Internet and server responses to such client requests may be sent asymmetrically from any other point on the Internet. The client-server connection is secured utilizing an intermediary device that acts as a transparent relay, generating a secret cookie hash for the client, such that only the data packets containing such hash are forwarded by the globally distributed system to the server.
