You could use client variables (but I don't recommend it). You could put your session data into a database. It's about the same, but gives you more control and doesn't require clustering (or the expensive CF Enterprise ed.)
You could roll your own clustering type of software... serializing and deserializing of data, transmitting to other servers... ya, not a good idea really. It will start to get complicated and possibly more cumbersome than the payoff. You could roll your own state server, but that's not going to be easier. In fact, it could be a lot more complex. I don't know exactly what problem you're trying to solve. If you just want to know what server you're on, why not do some kind of special login thing like: if (isDefined("cookie.Jamie")) {writeOutput("you are on server: " & some_server_id_variable)}. Put that in your OnRequestEnd.cfm or onRequestEnd() method in your Application.cfc, or have a special .cfm file that only you know the location to (and/or is password protected) that tells you what server you're on. Refresh it a number of times to see if you get bounced to another server. -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Is it possible to share sessions without clustering? > >(I'd like to be able to know that when I'm hitting Server A, that the >application I'm seeing is coming from Server A.
