I actually think its worth having some very small text on the home page that tells the user which node they are on.
I guess the only thing to remember is that if you don't have the sticky bit set (Session infinity as its sometimes known) then you could get directed to others depending on the LB config. Actually thinking about this, I guess you can not have the sticky bit on the LB in front of the AR Servers as this would mean that all your midtier traffic would only go through one server.... Food for thought anyway....

It's a PITA at times, but doable. Beyond that you can test the nodes individually by connecting to them individually to troubleshoot/diagnose problems.

In production we have the following architecture Load Balancer 4 Mid-Tier Load Balancer 2 App So, any one of the 4 web nodes could be pointing to any one of the app nodes..so it would be nice to be able to pinpoint which node, both web and app a user is using.

I have the need to know which node I'm currently on when connected through the load balanced name. According to the 7.5 docs.all nodes should have the same 'Server-Name', but each node registers with the group with the 'Server-Connect-Name'. it is the connect name I want to be able to access through workflow.
