I have the load balancing all setup, which is why i didn't want to use
normal file sessions. I have one more question though, I read that
tutorial and got it to work perfect, it is too easy. I am just wondering, is
using a library like phplib more efficient or is this very efficient itself
(i mean are the built in functions pretty effieicnt)? That is my primary
concern because of the # of users....thanks again!
