http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=13&threadid =195459 The way I read this thread, the inability of the CF Server to properly track client variables across clustered servers using a datasource storage is a BUG. It is being worked on with a priority of 2, according to this thread (1 being the highest). But Allaire/Macromedia has been aware of this bug for some time.
