SPDY sets up a single TCP connection per host (really IP and cert) and then
multiplexes all requests over that connection. My understanding of the way we
use LVS is that all incoming traffic for a given TCP connection is forwarded to
the same backend server even in round robin mode. The single SPDY connection
would end up talking to the same backend all the time. So moving towards SPDY
might actually reduce the need for a shared SSL cache for most connections.
