Re: Session problems under heavy load???

Thanks for the replies. For those who mentioned load balancing I am using my own server so that is not an issue. Loads should typically not hit what they did while the raid array was rebuilding, however this does seem a little alarming from a security standpoint! How do security conscious sites deal with the potential threat of site compromise by overloading a server? In my case the session variables I am using must be set in order to access certain pages etc. so in the case where they are lost, access is denied, however I am sure there are some parts of code where I have not accounted for the possibility that a variable does not exist!
