Re: clustering scenario help needed

Use the bySessionID candidacy function (or write your own).  Then in  
your Java app, make the session handler responsible for setting a  
session cookie that indicates which machine.  bySessionID can read that  
session cookie and deliver the user to the same machine again and  
again.

I have built this solution for a past client, it works fine.
