Doesn't clustering solve this problem?

  Subject: session management
  
  Helloall
  
  I am running my application on three servers. All 
  are live servers . I am using dns round robin to acess them.
  Now my problem or issue is thatI want to 
  have session of each end user on each server.. so if one server goes down the 
  end user can process toother servers with the same session.
  So i guess this may be possible with RMI, and I 
  also saw one xml.. rmi.xml in config folder . 
  
  can anyone suggest me some clue about this , how 
  i can achieve this goal.Does orion supports some in built help for 
  RMI.
  
  earlier i did this with loadserver, that was 
  working well, but the problem in that , if the server where loadbalancer is 
  running goes down , my application will be killed.
  
  
  Thanks

I agree that loadbalancer.jar is a great concern!

No one's told me that a product like the Cisco Redirector would'nt work.

What's wrong with DNS round robin is that it does not provide session
sticky routing of a client to the same box.  Redirector and most other
true load balancer boxes do this.

Cisco Redirector and it's equivelants are in theory more reliable than
a CPU/Box running java and loadbalancer.jar.
