Hello there,

Although I am not very experienced in using proxy_balancer, I did experiment 
with it a little bit a while ago.

>From what I remember, it expects the route to be appended to the balancer 
>cookie value. In your example it is expecting a cookie of 
>JSESSIONID=0000K8zpkCtCy6l9Y91Q86bETpX:-1.1 or 
>JSESSIONID=0000K8zpkCtCy6l9Y91Q86bETpX:-1.2

If a valid route is not found in the cookie, it will not apply stickiness.

Unless you can actually yourself determine part of the value of JSESSIONID in 
order to include a route which can be interpreted by proxy_balancer, JSESSIONID 
is not a good balancer cookie. What I did myself was to set a cookie on the 
browser whenever I detected a request not containing a balancer cookie.

        RewriteMap  bID rnd:/path/balancers.map

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE}      !BALANCER=route
        RewriteRule . - [CO=BALANCER:route.${bID:rand}:%{ENV:domain}]

The balancers.map file may contain:

rnd     1|2|3|4

Another way of setting the cookie would be to direct a request not containing a 
cookie to a specific path on the application server, let the balancer determine 
which application server that should be, and let the application server set a 
cookie corresponding to itself.

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE}      !BALANCER=route
        RewriteRule . /myapp/setbalancercookieandcreatesessionobject

or something like that.

It would be interesting to know what others are doing on that subject.

Hi, 

        I am running httpd version 2.2.6 on Windows XP SP2.  I am trying to use 
sticky sessions to route users to a server, based on the value of the 
JSESSIONID cookie in their request.  While the load balancing does appear to 
work, the sticky sessions don't appear to be working.  My configuration looks 
like this:
