Can anyone help by explaining how the session cache works?  We have a web
site supported by two servers using a content switch to load balance.  The
content switch goes sticky on SSL id.  We are discovering that when two
people use SSL at the same time that towards the end of the SSL session the
content switch suddenly routes one session to the other machine thus causing
an error because the machine doesn't know anything about the session.

I have looked at the ssl_engine logs and found that it wants to give a
session a new id even though the user is sending requests within the
SSLCacheTimeout time.

Does the time out last from the start of the session to the end or does it
last from request to request?
Does the browser affect what happens?  I have seen discussion about
nokeepalive with MSIE.  Would this affect it?

Any help appreciated.
