Achieving strong client -> upstrem_server affinity

Hi Maxim,

Thanks for the explanation. I understand "upstream" and "proxy" much better now.

Nope. The "upstream" and "location /http-bind" blocks are posted
verbatim. Nothing is removed or changed in those two blocks.

Since I am not using "keepalive" for my upstream servers I am guessing
we can safely rule this out.

Lets see if something comes out in the test setup.

Cool. Will try out the latest version too.
