You can set a save handler for the session and save the session to the database (http://php.net/session_set_save_handler). But it will be hard for server 2 to find out which data belongs to a user that just came from server 1 - you can't rely on a session id found in the url or in a cookie since... well, that's obvious. However, there might be some secure standard for this that I'm not aware of (plus a million semi secure hacks to think of). I think I'd rather solve it on a different level and ensure HA by load balancing the two apache nodes. Check linuxvirtualserver.org and linux-ha.org - and google gives you tons of articles telling you how to set it up.
