Oct 02, 2008What protocol is the traffic?
If it's HTTP traffic, the ideal solution is to use cookie insert persistence. This allows you to persist based on individual browser sessions. If it's another protocol, you could try a similar approach of inserting a token in the response that the individual client would include in subsequent requests and then persist on that token. If that's not possible, I think you're stuck with considering all clients who connect from mega-proxy subnets as a single client. You could configure the load balancing algorithm to least connections to try to alleviate the clumping, but it wouldn't necessarily solve the problem.
