It doesn't matter. If there's no cookie, there's no way for the web application to track the session. Therefore subsequent requests are treated by the application as unrelated. So, pound can just choose a random backend. When a session needs to be tracked, a cookie is set and subsequent requests are routed to the same backend. Think of it as requests for images, css, javascript: it doesn't matter what backend handles them, because the response will be the same on all backends. When serving dynamic html, the application sets a session cookie causing pound to direct all requests to the same backend. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Erik Hensema -- HostingXS B.V. eXcellent Service Support: [email protected] Algemeen: [email protected] Administratie: [email protected] Telefoon: 024 - 324 91 77 Fax: 024 - 324 91 76 Post adres: Postbus 5 6500 AA te Nijmegen Website: http://www.hostingxs.nl Twitter: http://twitter.com/HostingXS -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected].
