That from the client application I can control whether there are connections 
to host A via ipv4 and ipv6, but with redirections things can get mixed up 
unless I also filter them - or set a different session id.

It's still the same problem, probably not very well explained: I want to run 
http requests to S1 hosts over ipv4 (with possible redirections and keep-
alive/persistent connections) and requests to S2 hosts over ipv6 (with 
redirs + ka) without things getting mixed up together and at the same time.

Think about it as if the goal was to monitor the connectivity of each subset 
of hosts over one or the other IP stack. (but the monitoring goes all the 
way up to layer 7).
