Re: Reprise of dissapearing session variables

Yeah, we narrowed it down to the cluster as causing the problem friday night. My host is working to figure out a solution. They have a few ideas, but haven't tested them yet. session files get saved in /tmp by default, correct? Is there a way to have them saved somewhere that would propogate to all the servers in the cluster? Has anyone out there been faced with this before? How did you get around it, or did you just give up? Thanks!
