See my reply to your same point in another thread. The load-balancing within a cluster is done by destination URL, not by user. If you did the load-balancing by user, and there were ten members in the proxy cluster, then the cluster would need 10 cached copies of each popular site. Doing the load-balancing by URL, each cluster needs only one copy of each URL, and each user gets routed to the right cache for the URL requested.
