I take this back: I did better testing and the user is NOT
automatically logged into the second server.

Basically there is a cflogin limitation with simple DNS round robin
load balancing (no clustering) on multiple web servers: the login
session isn't shared between the multiple web servers (even if the
cflogin cookie contains the full username/password info, that would be
sufficient to automatically re-authenticate the user behind the scenes
on another server), apparently, besides the cflogin cookie on the
client, each CF server maintains its own internal state of the
logins/logouts sessions.

What would be the better/easiest way of managing a logins on a load
balanced application w/o clustering the CF instances?

I used the session word to mean login sessions, not CF session variables.

Thanks.
