Hi Richie, Application session resiliance means you can share the application session between the application servers. Sharing the application sessions between application servers is not a problem the load-balancer can fix. You have to store the application session in a SQL database, a NFS share or better, if you have a huge traffic, in a NoSQL database. Baptiste
