Hi David,
The weight algorithm uses the backends concurrent connections number to
calculate the "load" of every server. This load is used to balance the new
connection to the best server. In your case, the weight value has to be the
same for every backend.
In order to obtain an additional session persistence with weight algorithm
is not supported by pen, but it could be quite easy to include it.
Regards,
Laura.
