[Zope-dev] Load balancing over FastCGI

Has anyone actually used multiple FastCgiExternalServer
directives within apache, each pointing to a separate ZEO 
client, to load balance?

We had this set up and doing round-robin between 2 ZEO
clients, but there are _big_ problems with it. For a page with
lots of images, we are getting images/objects returned from
seemingly random places. Apparently the request coming in 
from one browser doesn't necessarily go back out to that browser.

If someone wants proof of this, we are able to fairly reliably 
reproduce the problem.

I've sent mail to the fastcgi-developers list, but not yet gotten 
a response.
