You could save your sessions in an RDBMS, but I'm not sure how
responsive this would be...

Is there currently a way of replicating session information across
multiple tomcat nodes without multicasting? If not, has any extended
the Tomcat API to support this? The reason I ask is because we are
using a hardware load balancer, and it does not support multi-casting.
One thought is that we could upgrade our hardware to a load balancer
that supports this (not sure one even exists), but I'm sure that there
are other means of performing replication besides multicasting. Using
a database as the session persistence layer is one thought. Direct
tomcat node to tomcat node in memory session replication is another
thought.
Just thought I'd see what ideas/solutions are out there.
