I knew apache could proxy with "sticky session", I did not notice Pound had that feature, so I will have recall my previous mail :D It would seems that my path of least resistance is to simply replace nginx by pound for http/https proxying and just keep it for imap/pop load dispatching.

Should a configuration of pound for such deployment be added to the wiki ? (coming back to the point made about Daniel about helping roundcube users with their deployment).
