Thank you very much for the feedback. I have now registered a username
in the Plone.org web site and tried to access the page
http://plone.org/documentation/kb/sticky-sessions-and-mod_proxy_balancer
while logged in with my new account, but I got the same error message.

Concerning this matter of "Sticky Sessions", I have found the
following "Stack Exchange" discussion that includes a post from Hanno
Schlichting (Plone 4 Release Manager) confirming that this is
"obsolete" in Plone 4:

apache - Are sticky sessions needed when load-balancing Plone 3.3.5? -
Stack Overflow
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5650716/are-sticky-sessions-needed-when-load-balancing-plone-3-3-5

Here's what it seems to me to be the most relevant paragraph in that discussion:

" In Plone 3 there is still some code left in the object creation
logic which does indeed use sessions. It's there to support a
widget-like interface, where object creation is spread across multiple
actual requests. This support and the code is gone in Plone 4. "


Thanks again for replying Alex!  :)
