Could you please explain the complete workflow, who sets the initial cookie and how, then how it is presented by flash requests ? Maybe there are already solutions to this, maybe this needs some development but it's hard to tell what has to be done without knowing the exact steps. > I can't use appsession since as far as I understand it only work if I > have one process - in my environment this is not acceptable (I will > have multiple LB's to get high-availability and scalability - HAproxy > will be paired with stud to terminate SSL and this will probably need > more than two machines). Well, it could probably be cheaper to have only stud on some machines and then send everything to a single haproxy instance. Also, do you really need multiple studs ? BTW, what will you use to balance your studs and using what algorithm ? Regards, Willy
