Yet another sticky/persistent sessions question

[Todd Lipcon]

Hi Mathew,

Perlbal does not support sticky sessions in its stock configuration. The 
"persistent client connections" mentioned on the web is simple HTTP 
Keepalive support.

There may be a plugin out there that can make perlbal do traditional 
"sticky sessions", but I haven't seen it if so.

Most people opt to distribute their session store so stickiness is not 
necessary.
