This sounds exactly like what I want to setup. One question, what about session sharing? Do session variables from server 1 get shared over to server 2? Or does your load balancer make sessions "sticky" ie a user's entire session is guaranteed to be only on one or the other server, in which case a server outage would cause loss of session for all users who are on that server?
