I don't like very much the NFS solution, I think it could be better to use a
DB and so I ask to Joshua and the apacheAsp community the possibility to add
the support for storing StateDB in a DB via DBI.


Right, don't do the NFS if you can help it merely because NFS does not seem to support the file locking semantics. Until Apache::ASP::Session is supported in RDBMS natively, I would use Apache::Session, which you can easily configure to use by setting

PerlSetVar AllowSessionState Off

and then setting $Session to the Apache::Session object created in Script_OnStart.
Make sure to do a $Server->RegisterCleanup to properly DESTROY the $Session object,
and register it in Script_OnStart immediately after creating the object.

The biggest problems here is that you do not get the benefits of Session_OnStart
and Session_OnEnd, as well as expires session garbage collection.

Josh
