I would suggest maybe looking at the persistence setting on the load
balancer. Your network engineers should be able to configure it so that once
a client connects it will continue to keep connecting to the same server in
the pool. I haven't read up on BMC's suggested configuration for load
balancing the mid-tier but in a previous life for other applications we
would use cookie persistence (where the load balancer dropped its own cookie
on the client machine to track to which pool member it was connected).

Make sure you do not have reverse proxies that cache the Remedy URL's.  We
were advised by BMC a while ago that the mid-tier is the only component that
should handle the cache.  After our proxy guys disabled the cache from NOT
happening on the reverse proxies all worked fine.

The reason clearing the cache and closing ie seems to work is because you
are reestablishing a connection.  What happens is a user swaps mid tier
sessions while they are in remedy.  The session headers are not swapped over
popping up the error.  Clear cache close ie and log back in will of coarse
work every time but it doesn't fix the problem.  The swapping is random and
on not consistent with any user.  This would tell you more than likely a hot
fix will not fix the issue.  It is hard to trouble shoot because it is
random and the simple thing to do would be load a hot fix.  There are caught
exceptions were this is the case but not this one.
