[f-nsp] cookie persistence in DSR mode

[Jamie Dahl]

assuming your not using DSR..you dont need to worry about route-maps to
send the packets back to the LB.

Configure a "source-standby-ip" on the load balancer, then configure the
server to send all port X traffic back to the load balancer as the next
hop..

pretty easy to setup w/ FreeBSD and Linux, windows it's doubtful..

"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to
find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a
necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as
fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life."
