Mark, You don't need the sticky bit or session persistence between the mid tiers and AR servers. That is the new feature in 7.6.04 and above. However, from the user hitting the VIP to the Mid Tier, you still need some sort of session persistence setup to keep the user tied to 1 web server. This sticky bit timeout should be set to the same as your connection timeout in the mid tier.
