Is there only one legacy server, or a pool of them? If there's a pool of legacy servers, is it important that once a client routes to one (the very first time) they ALWAYS persist to that SAME server, even if the next request is 60 days later or next year or something?

 

 

If all you need is for all requests for a given session to go to a single server, or if there's only one legacy server, then this shouldn't be a problem at all using normal persistence settings.
