If you happen to be running PHP, and you happen to be able to integrate this well, there are settings in php.ini called "use_trans_sid" which tell PHP to put its session id into the URL. PHP will automatically cram the session id into every link, every form, every src= and so on, if you turn that on. You may also want to look at the notes from this talk: http://jasonrexilius.com/GloballyDistributedWebCluster.php in which Jason Rexilius describes a method of storing the session data itself in the cookie in section 5) I think he's got a more article-oriented version online somewhere, but it didn't turn up in my quick Google. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
