Re: [wsrp-dev] WSRP 1.0 production on clusters with stateful sessionreplication/failover

Yes. The specification accounts for such deployments. As you point out, 
the consumer needs to be pointed to a proxy that can fail-over across 
several producer instances. Secondly, if the proxy wants to use cookies 
for load-balancing or pinned sessions within the cluster, it could rely 
on init cookies (set via initCookie).
