[OPEN-ILS-DEV] login problem with Evergreen and LVS

[dkyle]

We are testing a small Evergreen cluster.  We setup two servers running 
Postgres and pgpool, two "real servers" running Evergreen, and one LVS 
server.  Login with the Evergreen client would sometimes fail with a 
lengthy message regarding no authentication seed being found.  Some 
packet capturing revealed that the error occurred whenever the LVS 
director changed real servers between the clients initial http request, 
and the subsequent https request.  This seemed a little strange since 
this involves 2 separate TCP streams.

Is this what would be expected? 
If so, how have others dealt with the issue?
What is going on with the client login process during the initial http 
request that requires the https request to hit the same real server?  I 
did look through the packet decode for that, but I don't understand the 
internal workings enough.
