Ah, good thought - I hadn't considered hacking the referrer on the
Apache side.
I used only the RequestHeader edit on the Apache server for each IPA
server, since it can co-exist with direct access, and did the cookie
rewriting on the HAProxy side, since that should only happen when
accessed via the balancer. Appears to be working with some quick
testing. Below is my HAProxy backend, in case it helps someone:
backend ipa-ssl
# Rewrite cookie domain
acl ipa1_int_cookie_dom res.hdr(Set-cookie) -m sub
Domain=ipa1.int.example.com
rspirep ^(Set-Cookie:.*)\ Domain=ipa1.int.example.com(.*) \1\
Domain=ipa.example.com\2 if ipa1_int_cookie_dom
acl ipa2_int_cookie_dom res.hdr(Set-cookie) -m sub
Domain=ipa2.int.example.com
rspirep ^(Set-Cookie:.*)\ Domain=ipa2.int.example.com(.*) \1\
Domain=ipa.example.com\2 if ipa2_int_cookie_dom
# Sticky sessions
cookie ipa_session prefix nocache
server ipa1 ipa1.int.example.com:443 check cookie ipa1 ssl ca-file
/etc/ipa/ca.crt
server ipa2 ipa2.int.example.com:443 check cookie ipa2 ssl ca-file
/etc/ipa/ca.crt
