The application generally sets a cookie without any awareness of there
being a proxy or load balancer.  We're lucky with Tomcat to be able to
accommodate a special load balancer situation, we're not so lucky with
other applications (PHP, for example).  

Why doesn't proxy_balancer function like all the other load balancers
out there, building a hash table that connects the cookie value to a
member server to maintain affinity?
