I wanted to do the exact same thing but ending up just doing something similar but not as good basing the backend on the calling ip.

The problem with pound is that all session tracking is per service, and there is no global sessions.

Sorry, no better help from me :(

Nobody?  Anybody with any alternatives or ideas about how they might pull
this off?

My other line of thinking revolves around using Apache + mod_proxy (et.
al.) to proxy a request back to one 4 pound listeners that each represent
one of our notes clusters.  Once the request is at the proper pound
listener, session affinity is handled using the LtpaToken cookie described
above.  I've got proof of concept somewhat working using this method, but
I'm not sure if it is the appropriate path to go down.  I'd be happy to
hear from anybody who has an opinion or advice.

Any response appreciated,
Justin
