Might as well just use Apache::Session, if it already does what you need.

In general, a good database will give you better performance and
scalability than NFS. NFS gets clunky when you need locking and
synchronization. However, a relatively small site should do fine on NFS.
Since NFS-shared sessions already work with Apache::ASP, you could try it,
benchmark it for your expected traffic, and then decide.
