      Hello all,

      I'm wondering if in the future, there might be a way to set sticky connections by protocol/port.  ie. for HTTPS but nothing else.

      At the moment, I use policy based routing to force all HTTPS connections out of a single WAN connection, but at times this places too much of a load on that single connection.

      This is where sticky connections for HTTPS would be great.

      I could just turn on the existing sticky feature, but then I'd lose the ability to load balance things like NNTP.

      Are selective (protocol specific) sticky connections something possible for the future?

        It is not that big deal to add the option but first you need to create a feature request.
