Re:How does this work with sessions?

Posted by: ulric on June 13, 2005 06:02 AM
There are several reasons why sessions matter:
  1. The application was originally not written with load balancing in mind, so all state is kept locally.
  2. Keeping state on a database potentially creates a bottleneck and single point of failure.
  3. The application doesn't allow state to be kept anywhere but locally and fundamentally cannot be changed (e.g. a cluster of Windows Terminal Servers).


I don't know if or how LVS handles state. I do know that <a href="http://siag.nu/pen/" title="siag.nu">Pen</a siag.nu> does.
