Sean (or anyone else!), In a post "Which Framework do you use", You said "Mostly the frameworks are all designed to manages requests and data on a single server. I never use client variables (and I've only ever worked on clustered CFMX Enterprise systems)." May I ask how you maintain session state? I need to take into account users behind multiple proxies (AOL), and from what I have read you can either include link tokens in every single link / form post on your site, you can save data to a cookie (which is not 100% reliable or secure), or you can use a combination of a url token and client variables stored in a shared database file between all the servers. What works best for you? Are you using the built in cluster capability in Coldfusion, or a hardware device?
Also, I have been trying to find out how effective cflock is in a clustered environment. Looking at the cflock tag, the name of the lock and the scope are mutually exclusive. I was rather hoping I could name a lock in the client scope (which would be shared between the servers, so the others would wait for the lock to release). How do you ensure that 2 different servers don't overwrite the same data, or get into race conditions on the database? Thanks in advance!
