HTTPServletSession uses cookies as it's default and then URL re-writing if
cookies are not available. The contents of an HTTPSession looks something
like this:
Name: JSESSIONID
Server: [serverid here]
path: [path here]
Value: [A session ID String
So you could get the cookie in code and manipulate it that way. Most load
balancing servers support Affinity to maintain session state, this will
re-direct the users to the same servers in order to preserve their session.
That may be an easier path to take.
