Don't bother sharing session data, just do stickiness using a dedicated cookie (other than the session cookie). This cookie will be set by one apache instance and recognized by both. As long as the cookie is not SSL only, it will direct both SSL and plaintext traffic to the same backend. There are plenty of examples below. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy_balancer.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
