Or you can save the the session in the database [ works good for me ]
Sharing the cookie is easy when you have multiple boxes on the same tld
[ or FQDN ]

source load balancer. I know OpenBSD has some failover capacity through
something called CARP, but I'm not sure how that would work with your
solution.

Thanks for the reply, Nathan -
Are there any such interfaces that are software-based? I think that
Jasper's suggestion would be the most feasable, but I'd still like to
know my options.
In my mind, hardware immediately equates to $$$, whereas software
immediately does not.
Thanks

Sure, I know of some load balancing software, but I do not know of any
that support sticky sessions out of the box.
BTW, how are these sessions passed? Is this a client-server approach,
where the LB accepts the session data and uses a proxy to forward them
to the load balanced machine, or does the load balancer do it's thing at
perhaps Layer 2, and completely forwards the connection to the LB'd server?
Thanks!
