Re: Sessio variables and Load Balancing

PHP stores it's session variables in the /tmp directory by default, but another directory can be specified in the php.ini file. I am guessing that if you mount an NFS volume between all the web servers and have them all point their session directory to the same place, the session will be maintained no matter what computer the user is at as long as the cookie comes from the domain of the server and not a specific computer. I'm thinking if the session cookie is set from .mysite.com and any computer in *.mysite.com stores it's session variables in the shared directory there shouldn't be a problem. You can avoid any cookie situation by explicitly passing the session variables and aviod cookies also.
