The load-spreading within the cluster is done by destination URL, not by user. So if you always use the same test site for identifying your proxy, you will always get the same answer. Each member of the cluster has its own little bit if the internet to cache, and your connection will utilise all members of the cluster according to the URL sought. It's more efficient that way.
