Sorry for the miscommunication.  I understand that active users with a
session are supposed to stay with the original version that they were
associated with.  My confusion was caused by the fact that when I did an
auto deploy, the users were immediately being migrated to the new version
of the application.  I would not have expected this because I thought that
the cookies attribute is set to true by default and thus they would have
an active session. 

However, I have been able to achieve my desired results by setting
cookies="false" within the context files for the applications I manually
deployed.  

Thanks,
Jeremy
