Apache load balancing with sticky sessions

Michel Bany
We are using Apache load balancing using sticky sessions with the help of a cookie generated by the application.
Works fine, but ...

Assume that one of our 15 worker fails, the other 14 workers continue to participate equally in the traffic. After we restart the failed worker, then Apache gives all the load it can to it. It looks as if Apache wants this worker to catch up. The problem is that this worker is absorbing all the new sessions and we end up having nearly no traffic in the other 14 workers. I know this looks like an Apache-only issue, I just want to see if anyone else observed such behavior.

Thanks,
Michel.
