https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy_hcheck.html is surely a good read for your use case. Moreover be really careful with sticky sessions, they have the downside to tie requests to a specific backend altering the work of the LB algorithm.

Thanks, I'm reading the doc now.

You are right. Stick sessions have it's own pitfalls. Unfortunately for our legacy system we need to use it. We are working on to remove session affinity.
