It's not just our friends up north. The J2EE specs require that, if simultaneous requests for the same session are being procesed, they *must* be processed on the same server instance. This is required in order to maintain the session semantics (such as a session attribute set in one of the simultaneous requests being instantly visible to the other requests for that session). This doesn't mean you can never move a session from one server intsance to another; it only means that you can only do so in between requests.
