Session stickyness?

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

Is there any way to achieve session stickyness via Nginx proxying?

Using Apache ProxyPass directive one can write :
ProxyPass / balancer://mycluster/ lbmethod=byrequests
stickysession=BALANCEID

and use a BALANCEID cookie from the backends to direct users to the
right servers.

Does Nginx (0.5x) have a similar mechanism?

Regards

The nginx mechanism I have seen is based on client IP address:

HTH.
