Sessions and redundant servers

G'day folks, Here's a theoretical question for those of you using PHP's inbuilt session facilities... How do you "keep" your variables across redundant servers? Or, isn't anybody out there hosting PHP-based services on grouped servers? My question may reflect a lack of understanding on just how PHP's sessions work, but (bear with me a moment) I thought that session variables were simply stored in a local file-store (default: /tmp). Are people using NFS-shared directories, rsync (or some other method of keeping such areas synchronised), or are all "redundant" sites using home-grown session handling?
