Does this support sticky sessions? Normally I think it's best for HTTP backends to be stateless, but WebSockets open up interesting possibilities for RPC solutions like NowJS (https://github.com/Flotype/now), dnode (https://github.com/substack/dnode), and others (https://github.com/kriskowal/q-connection) that benefit from keeping state in memory in the app servers. I'd be interested to hear about other load balancing techniques for WebSockets.
In WebSocket proxy support added to nginx trunk
