Yea, session replication is so your session variables are copied over to other instances you are running inside of a coldfusion cluster. Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the issue everyone is speaking about is: simple variables would replicate, but objects would not replicate (user beans, cfc's with cart info, etc), and they will replicate in Scorpio.
