It's why I assumed you were clustering but it's not connected to the scenario I was assuming. I can't know whether somebody's load balancer is working, and the symptom fit a node change.

That's a very rare matter of timing, it would not affect things in a noticeable way unless "fail over" means "lack of stickiness".

I didn't design that feature to eliminate stickiness. It might not perform adequately in that scenario, it wasn't meant to be done that frequently.
