        I can add more reasons here. So, better you to check your
web server access logs or to provide "tcpdump -ln host CLIENT_IP" output
from your sessions. For the test you can try to work with one real
server only, or may be to isolate a real server that is not synced. Do
you use service that requires persistence? HTTPS?

        It is not needed for normal operation.
