Does your load balancer support sticky sessions? What this means is a client will make a request and the request will be sent through a load balancer. That LB will remember the client and always point the client's requests to the same webserver. This way you don't have to write your own session handler like someone else suggested. I know the F5 load balancers are able to support sticky sessions, I don't know if what you're using is able, but it might be worth an hour or two to look into it.

The best I've thought of is to use some sort of load balancer which also has an NFS share. Sessions are created with this load balancer, and Apache or whatever proxy's the connection to the machines behind the load balancer. The machines behind the load balancer map the NFS share from the load balancer, and are able to interact with the session. I'm very curious as to how session tracking is done through multiple machines, as well. </snip> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
