Skyrix has a software called 'snsd' ("session name service daemon")  
to do session routing. Its not included in (opensource) SOPE.
This daemon acts as a registry of running applications. If you start  
an application it connects to the snsd and then reports all sessions  
it creates to it. On the other side the Apache module will ask the  
snsd for the IP/port the app is running on if it receives a request.

However a lot of software can do frontend based routing based on  
session-ids, probably you can use something else too. (Pound maybe?)

Greets,
