[Openstack-operators] novnc client authenticating on the wrong nova-consoleauth at random

Hi,

I'm running a multi-region openstack setup. I'm running into a strange 
issue where when I try to open the novnc console, it will try to 
authenticate on a nova-consoleauth service in a random region. So, if I 
try to access a novnc console of an instance in regiontwo, the client 
will sometimes try to authenticate on the nova-consoleauth in region 
one. This results in the token either getting rejected (if I don't have 
regiontwo tokens in memcached) or nova-consoleauth not finding the 
instance (if I also store regiontwo tokens in regionone memcached).

I must also specify that I am using horizon that's running in regionone. 
Also interesting is the fact that the client accessing instance consoles 
in regionone will NEVER try to authenticate on nova-consoleauth in 
regiontwo. Only regiontwo instances will try to do so (and fail).

Any idea on what could be causing this?
