If Bengal is setup the way I think it is, this is probably useful
for the Big5 IP load-balancer (I think thats the right name). This
is basically session tracking like you said, but not just the session,
but also which machine to goto. This way if you have server-side processes
running in conjuction with the web stuff, like say a Java servlet,
a user gets directed back to the machine that the process is running
on.
