[Seaside] Server Identification in Session Keys

Hi,

I am trying to configure Apache 2's mod_proxy_balancer with sticky sessions towards multiple Seaside 3 instances.

What I need, apart from starting multiple VM's with the same image running on different ports (I am working on one machine), is that each VM adds a server identification to the session key (_s), so that the balancer can route everything in the same session to the same instance.

How can this be done ?

As far as I understand, it is WAApplication (WARegistry>>#handleFiltered:) that hands out session ID's in the _s parameter (#keyField), but I cannot immediately find where the session ID's are generated (is it WACache>>#store using WAKeyGenerator ?) and how I could interfere in a clean way.

Has anyone done this before ?

Thx for any help/pointers,

Sven
