Thanks for the pointer. That was exactly what I was looking for. It would perhaps be a good idea to mention the non-stick option in the backup section. Right now it says there:
"Requests coming with a persistence cookie referencing the server will always be served though." This could be changed to: "Requests coming with a persistence cookie referencing the server will always be served though (unless the non-stick option is specified)." That would give newbies a hint where to look for this kind of behaviour.
