Down these lines, does anyone have a recommendation for a good hardware load balancer? Doesn't have to be top of the line or have a ton of features. Just something reliable with decent features at a good price.

Yes, depending on your HWLB device, it can set a cookie, go by IP address or segment, URL params, etc., aka, literally anything that can be used to identify the end-user.

I'm wondering how it would be possible... of course there are always workarounds like client variables (yuck!) or other DB storage mechanisms, and at one point i'd thought up a plan to allow web service session lookups between servers.
