Synopsis

bySession cookie

Directory

This chooses the server based on the value of a cookie, which should be the IP address of the server to choose. Note that mod_backhand does not set the cookie — it’s up to you to arrange that (presumably in a CGI script). This is obviously handy for situations where there’s a state associated with the client that is only available on the server to which it first connected.
