Round-robin DNS would do the trick .. but then again .. what happens if they
get disconnected from the site? Or are you talking about having the user
*always* go to the same machine?

Subject: RE: Session vars in a clustered environment
| We discussed this thing with an Allaire guy just last week. He said that
| currently, you can't pass session variables around between clustered
| servers. He did say that things can be set up so that users stick to the
| server they come into - so you CAN set session variables, and said user
will
| just stay on that server for the duration of his session. The initial
choice
| of what server the user hits would naturally be determined by load
| balancing...
