I believe you have to use the JSessions for the software based load balancing to work. It uses the JSession cookie (which contains the serverid) to know what server to send the client to when sticky sessions are on. This is if you're using coldfusion load balancing. I'm not sure what cisco is doing. Most simpler versions of load balancers just do it by ip, either by ip address or subnet, and they will send it to one server, and then keep sending it to the same server as long as there are no failures.
