CirrusUsers behind 1 IP not load balancing across pool members
MVPVFB Are you positive they shouldn't be load balancing this way? Are you positive that each user isn't sharing their cookies if they are the same box? You should be able to verify what the F5 is receiving if you perform a tcpdump. You can also use the dev tools in the browser to confirm they are each receiving a unique cookie. I believe the following will get you what you want, just replace all this text <client_IP with the client IP that they are coming from. You can copy this off the F5 and open in wireshark to see if you can find anything that way.
tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnp <client_IP> -w /shared/tmp/testcapture.pcap
CirrusI don't think the application is generating a new cookie, despite the user having to log in again if they open a new tab.

If a new cookie isn't being provided it's an issue on the jump host device. You need to make sure each user has their own profile that separates browser data per user.

if your users are sharing 1 account of jump host login (probably due to jump host licensing),
make sure that browser processes are fully closed when all browser windows are closed,
so browser will expire f5 session cookie.for example on chrome, the keep in background and preload options are ON by default.
you can control user's chrome setting using Windows ADMX etc.

you can try x2go
