How can you identify a client in general? Do they maintain sessions?
If so, how do they maintain them (e.g. cookie-based, URL-based, or no
session state)? Obviously, if there is no session state, then there is
no "backend serving them" because they'll just use whatever backend
they get for their individual requests.
