The following is from me, a non-gearhead. 1. We use a load balancer which is able to set a cookie on the first page request. The cookie contains the ID of the server that handles that first request. On all subsequent requests, the cookie is used to route the request to the original server. 2. Haven't done this, but you could also put the session data in a database. See the php.ini file for the session handler setting. 3. I believe I read that there is a way to save the session files to a drive that is mountable by all the cluster servers. End of my knowledge on this one! Kirk
