OK, you know when a bug is filed and steps to reproduce it are actually, helpfully, miraculously attached? It would be in one's best interest to FOLLOW THEM. Instead of taking the developers at their word and starting down a path that involves rewriting cookies at the load balancer as well as editing the application server's configuration, when faced by my cosysadmins' emphatic insistence that the load balancer cookie is not used by the application, i suggested that we reproduce the bug. And as we take the steps, i see that the link that's being followed is going OFF-SITE, to one of our static content sites. SO OF COURSE IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. NOW I SET EVERYONE ON FIRE.
