Most probably we'll be using a very low TTL, so there is a chance that
an user will hit jump from a server to another: even if most browsers
just cache the IP address and ignore the TTL, that may be not true for
all.

That's exactly what I'm wondering: does the cflogin cookie include all
the info (username/password) needed to (automatically)
(re)authenticate the user on a server if he previously authenticated
on another server? Anyone tried this?
