Han,

Session variables exist in an individual computer's RAM and are therefore
not-shared in the cluster of computers. Load balancing software can be
configured to force sessions to a specific computer ('sticky sessions'), but
must experts will suggest that this is not a great idea and somewhat
mitigates the benefits of load balancing. Most would suggest that you
consider setting up a Client variable database and using client variables
instead. If you need to store complex data in your client variables, use
WDDX to serialize your data before storing it in the DB.

Subject: Question on between Load Balancing and Session Variable


Hi,

I had developed a coldfusion app using session variables.
Just worry, is the session variable work as normal in Load Balancing ?
For example, i have 2 servers here. i have a load balancer for these 2
servers to manage the web access traffic.
If i now login into the server 1, during the half way working, will the load
balancer auto switch me to the server 2; if there is a high traffic ? or i
may still remain in server 1 ?
pls advice...

thx...

regards,
Han
