Please help me understand where the 'stickyness' comes from.
Thanks for the explanation !
I have added the text to http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Redirector also.
In this context it means:
Once a client has redirected to a certain mirror, it is redirected to the same mirror again on the next request, and not to another randomly chosen one.
Am I right to rephrase "it is redirected to the same mirror again on the next request" as "the redirector is introducing the stickyness" ?
Yes, and it is optional behaviour, which can be switched off in the Apache module. --Which is what I meant with "we have been running with and without stickiness in the past".
