Yes, it is difficult to do 1-for-1.  In postfix there are parallel client 
processes
reading a shared session cache, and parallel writers updating that cache, and 
without
major changes to the code, when two writers update the cache back to back only 
one
ticket (really SSL_SESSION object) is saved.  Under load, many clients would not
find a ticket at all.
