How does the "SessionLimit" value work in an NX 3.5.0 Advanced Server/Node multi-node setup using round-robin session startup

Question:  How does the "SessionLimit" value work in a Advanced Server/Node multi-node setting using round-robin session startup? Is the value applied per node, or is that value applicable to all the concurrent sessions total?

For example, if you have a cluster consisting of a single server and three nodes, and the SessionLimit value is set to 75 in /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg on the main NX Advanced Server would you be able to start up:

1) 75 total sessions across all nodes

or

2) 225 total sessions across all nodes (75 per node)

Answer:  If the SessionLimit is set to 75, the maximum number of concurrent sessions is 75 no matter how they are distributed among the nodes. So scenario number 1 is correct.
