We ran into something similar a while back. Our solution was to create a simple
Apache module that pushes a cookie to the browser the when the "session" begins
(eg -- when no cookie exists). The content of the cookie is some indicator of
the realserver. On the second and subsequent requests the Apache module sees
the cookie and uses the Apache proxy mechanism to forward the request to the
appropriate realserver and return the results.
