Load Balancing on the cloud question

Hi there … I need to load balance multiple instances on the cloud. I don’t want to use Wowza built in Load Balancer as it still depends on the “master” server to be always up and in case that one goes done for any reason, the whole streaming farm goes dark

So, I will use Cloud vendor Load balancing services.

Question here is related to stickiness as I need user session to be sticky … is there any way to use any info from Wowza to keep stickiness. Session is not a query string anymore but a name in the chunks and manifest … So far, user’s IP is the only value I can use, but I’d like another option.

Is there anyway to get the session in the header of each chunklist.m3u8 response that will let me use it for persistency?
