Yes.  Any attempt to rely on a connection being persistent 
contradicts stateless nature of HTTP, and doing so will cause 
problems.  For example, we've all seen how Microsoft's NTLM 
authentication fails to work through proxy servers.  Don't repeat 
this mistake.

Worker processes are expected to be equal, and if you need a 
particular worker process to handle further requests for some 
reason - you may want to rethink the architecture.
