Of course all the servers in a failover group have to provide the same home directories (via NFS, usually). This is standard unix practice and has nothing to do with the SRS software. So, the home is not replicated. It is simply always the same home.
+1 The session in this context reflects more the active resources (RAM consumed by running processes) related to a particular user. When the terminal disconnects, the user's desktop, browser and other programs remain running. Thanks to a FOG, if a user later reconnects to any server initially (due to round-robin) and "his" session is found on any server in the FOG, the terminal will be redirected to be served by the same server and session as before. Note that a similar effect can also be scripted with "utswitch" (IIRC) for example to dedicate some uncrowded servers to some particular users (tokens) for responsiveness and similar reasons.
