  That's the idea.

  Hmm... hadn't thought of doing it that way.  It could be possible.

  No.  The idea would be do tie a client to a virtual server.  Then, all
requests from that client would be sent to one, and only one virtual server.

  And no matter what, a request is handled by *one* virtual server.  You
seem to be saying that a request will be handled by many in parallel.
That will never happen, for the reasons you point out.
