State sharing for HTTP can be enabled on the PIX, but by default is does not. Most connections are less then the time it takes to transfer the information. But if you are doing large file transfers via HTTP this can change.
In the 6.2 code LDSS (or whatever Cisco is calling it) will be supported over an Ethernet connection instead of requiring the Failover Cable.
