Hi Andy, 

Let me check if I understood your question correctly: you want sessions within 
multiple vpps, running in separate vms, to be centrally managed?

If that’s so, it depends what “centrally managed” means. For instance, running 
apps within the vms that attach to their respective vpps via vcl and then 
report their connections to a central point, over the network (so potentially 
over vcl), should be possible. Within such a setup, the “controller” can then 
control the behavior of the apps, i.e., sessions they accept and connect. On 
the other hand, if the controller wants a unified view of all session/transport 
layer state in all vpps, that doesn’t sound feasible as it is too much 
information and too dynamic.  

Out of curiosity, why would you want to do that? 

Regards,
Florin
