Load Balancing and Sessions

Hi I have 3 web servers behind a Fortigate 300A high availability pair. I am employing the server load balancing with port forwarding. My concern is that these web sites host e-commerce sites. Therefore I can not have a visitor get " balanced" from one server to another. It is very important that visitors always remain connected to the same server for the duration of their session. what if any specific settings need to be employed to get the firewalls to make sure they don' t reallocate a visitor from one server to another? Is there a " sticky IP" setting or something along those lines?

Take a look at " persistence" under virtual server at the load balance
