If your IP sprayer supports "session affinity", where it can be configured to examine the cookies and direct all requests for a particular session to the same server, then Webware can be used as-is. If you make heavy use of session variables then this is bound to be more efficient than having to rely on a centralized session store. But, I agree, it would be nice if Webware supported a centralized session store out of the box. - Geoff ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
