As for why you don't appear in the Other Users, the FAQ About the Other Users Nodelet explains that the contents of Other Users is cached, and regenerated only every few minites, so you might not appear immediately. The nodelet also shows the time that cached copy was generated below the list. The two webservers don't have much to do with this. (In addittion, the map itself is regenerated only every few minutes which adds an addittional delay.)

    ambrus Don't think it can be a "cache" issue regarding delay from login to appearing in Other Users as I have been logged in for a couple of hours and appear to come and go from Other Users during that time, eg at the time of writing I do not appear in Other Users.

      "Other users" defines you being online by activity, not by having hit "log in" but not "log out". I never hit log out, but I haven't been here continiously for the last 10 years, either.

      (Wow, it's really been 10 years?)

        What exactly constitutes activity?

        As just having a page open in a browser does not seem to be sufficient to keep a user showing in both "Other Users" and therefore showing on the map.
