Hello Pankaj:

The HW Load Balancer it is F5 Big IP. It has worked
fine until now for us, so I guess we will mantain. It
provides sticky connections, so I guess that I could
configure in the right way. In fact, I have found this
blog, that provides a possible configuration

Thanks for you answer.

Regards,

Evaristo
