You are correct that session data cannot be replicated between stand-alone installs of ColdFusion. You are also correct in your assessment of why my user's sessions seem to disappear when they switch servers. Unfortunately, I know what is happening. What I don't know is how to prevent it.

It seems to me that the session data is not being shared between CF instances, and when they hit https, the client is moved to another CF instance, which does not have their session information. speeves ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319826 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
