Yes, or you can use the "use-server" directive which respects force-persist as well. What I've seen a number of people use to test deployments was a static page at a hidden URL where you had a list of all configured servers and a radio button (or a link), allowing you to decide what server to connect to. Then clicking on the server would set the cookie so that you can directly try to connect there and see if it works or not. If it doesn't, you just have to go back to the server selection page and try another one. I remember having implemented one such page with extra stuff like setting/clearing the cookie, setting/clearing a "force-persist" cookie that was used to decide whether to go there forcing the access or as a regular user. Thus using stickiness it's very convenient. But if it doesn't suit your needs well, use-server will let you do exactly what you want. Willy
