Nope, that should work just fine.

This (server affinity) isn't necessary, so unless you need it for
something else, I wouldn't bother. Your load balancer can do its job

As another tip, lsof can often save some problems.

[root at zaunere root]# lsof | grep -i initrd
bash      18240 praxis  cwd    DIR        3,2       4096    1671169
/initrd
su        18453   root  cwd    DIR        3,2       4096    1671169
/initrd
[root at zaunere root]#
