i thought about this last night and I believe this is more of a question about how the load balancing server would work - what the URLs would look like. If the load balanced server ends up generating alternate domains, like www2.domain.com, www3.domain.com, etc. I am thinking I might be able to use System.exactSettings
System.exactSettings allows us the specify whether or not to use the superdomain (domain.com) or exact domain (www2.domain.com, www3.domain.com) matching rules for locally persistent data. If set to false, then the superdomain would be used, and settings and data for SWF files hosted at *.domain.com are all stored in one place on the client machine. but i'll be screwed if my .swf files get served from some damn akamai server with a funky akamai domain name - from what I have read I do not believe it is possible to shared local persistent data accross domains (local SharedObjects). if anyone knows otherwise, I'd love to know how!
