Russ, It's not CF that has problems with session replication. The problem comes from the idea of session replication over the network. The whole idea is flawed (though well suited for some, i'll admit, and there is no 100% correct way to go).
Hardware-based load balancers will provide failover (even better than jrun), though your session data will be lost. The trick is to make your session data available (or recreatable) across the rest of your cluster based on what small data you save in cookies. Switching to another technology will not solve the problem. BlueDragon or ASP.NET won't fix the issue for you (though their solutions will vary). You'll still have to deal with these types of problems. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 7/1/06, Russ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Unfortunatelly it won't provide failover.
