Andrew does have a point there, I am not a fan of stick IP based session
state management, I believe that that is a fundamentally flawed technology:
1) It kind of defeats the purpose of implementing fail-over, if a session is
tied to a box and that box goes down - well, goodbye session.
2) But the bigger issue is that of proxy servers, folks using NAT, ISP's who
share IP addresses among lots of users, etc. You end up with hardware that
sees all those sessions as the same IP address and they all end up on one
box. So, one box overworked (and subject to problem 1) and the other sitting
idle.

And what is wrong with high end load balancing ;) I've written apps
that work fine across multiple servers with sticky sessions, with
zero problems. Most were done with using a Local Director with
sticky sessions.
