This is a common mistake. You need to think about how HTTP cookies work in the browser. If you create a session you are receiving a cookie, the browser is going to send that cookie that identifies that session only for the same *domain* (whole RFC and details here http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#page-16 ). Given your setup, the domains are 10.0.0.27 and 10.0.0.28, respectively. That means the domain is different and cookies will *not* be sent and thus a new session will be created. If you were to use port offsetting it's a whole different story, same as when you are switching from HTTP/80 to HTTPS/443 you keep your session (watch out for secure cookies though). To test, you either need to spoof the cookie (e.g. in the WF testsuite we are using a HTTP client that overrides the domain matching logic to be relaxed) or use a loadbalancer like mod_proxy or mod_cluster and then the domain will be the address of the loadbalancer. So what you are seeing is correct and expected behavior.
