...or you could take the "easy cheesy" approach and simply write the same data to all of your session servers and then round-robin between them. In practice I've found the fail over code hard to write well, and seen many developers try and fail with this approach.

Well, you'll have to have multiple session servers with fail-over too! :)

If you use persistence to disk in my implementation - and that disk is a SAN cluster all web servers connect to - and use sticky load balancing, you also don't have a problem. Say I have a session that keeps comming back to server A and that server fails, the balancer would start sending me to server B. It will find the session on disk, cache it and all will be hunkydory.
