No. If you have a hardware load-balancer, though, it should be able to
preserve session affinity by looking at your cookie. I'm not familiar with
Foundry's product but the F5 product can do it. Then if the app server
serving the session dies, you might have to ask the user to log in again
(or you might be able to transparently log them in again), but that should
be rare.
