I believe that it's a misconfiguration of mod_backhand... Are you sure
you're using the bySession candidacy function in the module, so that your
sessions will "stick" to a particular webserver...
It's a problem I'm currently trying to solve for the WebApp module, and it's
not an easy trick to balance BOTH your Apache http connections and your
Tomcat backhands... :(
