The mod_python adapter would also be a nice place to do these experiments --
it's not as fast as mod_webkit but you'll still get much better speed than
with WebKit.cgi and the ease of working with Python code instead of C code.

SessionPrefix = None
This setting can be used to prefix the session IDs with a string.
Possible values are None (don't use a prefix), "hostname" (use the hostname
as the prefix), or any other string (use that string as the prefix). Why
would you want to use this? It can be used along with some mod_rewrite magic
to do simple load balancing with session affinity.
I put this in a few months ago. As the documentation says, I intended it to
be used with a clever set of mod_rewrite rules (which I never got around to
actually writing) to do load balancing. It could certainly also be used by
an adapter.
