I'm leaning towards C and E as well. Disabling authentication won't solve the problem, and hard-wiring instances doesn't sound like a great solution either.

Haha, option D is a good way to disable authentication, but that's not going to help with sticky routing! We need to keep authentication in place.

Option B doesn't make sense to me. Hard-wiring each Share instance to its own Alfresco instance would bypass the load balancer, which is the opposite of what we want.

I think options C and E are the correct ways to enable sticky routing. The load balancer needs to support sticky sessions, and enabling NTLM or Kerberos authentication with SSO will allow Share to use cookie-based sessions.
