1. A load balancer with sticky sessions is sufficient for the web-tier related stuff.
2. The ticket registry is part of the CAS server. Suffixes can be added by properly configuring a UniqueTicketIdGenerator (you'll see some in the configuration file):

Scott,
I have a couple followup questions:
1. Is a load balancer set to use sticky-sesssion enough to meet this
requirement or do I actually need to cluster the tomcat instances
which host CAS?
2. Is the Ticket Registry part of CAS or part of the application that
is being secured? Also if I wanted to add a suffix to the ticket were
would this be done?
Thanks,
Pete
