I don't understand how a fwmark virtual service would help me with a
persistence problem. For that matter, I don't understand how a custom
scheduler would, either, but perhaps that's because I wouldn't know
where to start with it.
My problem isn't with the original balancing of connections; it's with
the session persistence subsequently failing to be persistent. I
don't have a problem with the wlc scheduler that I'm using to choose
which RS a client should be hitting.
