Thank you Stefan!! I checked and as you said an usual application does not set that cookie in its response, and our application falls in that category. I have had the n/w guys enabled active persistence for the application and now I am not facing the issue of session expiring and able to navigate just fine with two instances running under one VIP.
Thanks.
