/**
 * This class provides a simple example of a server affinity provider that
 * consistently routes requests from the same client connection to the same
 * backend server.  This is similar to the client connection server affinity
 * provider shipped with the server.
 * <BR><BR>
 * For the first request received on a client connection, no affinity will have
 * been set and the load-balancing algorithm will be used to select which
 * backend server should be used, and then an affinity will be established to
 * that server.  For subsequent requests, the affinity will be used, but if the
 * server to which the affinity is established is not available for some reason,
 * then a new affinity will be established to the server that was eventually
 * used to process the operation.
 * <BR><BR>
 * It has the following configuration arguments:
 * <UL>
 *   <LI>allow-nonlocal-affinity -- Indicates whether to allow an affinity to
 *       be set to a nonlocal server.  If this is false, or if it is not set,
 *       then an affinity will only be set for backend servers in the same
 *       location as the Directory Proxy Server.</LI>
