Allowing Session in a Web Farm? Is StateServer Good Enough?

by

Here is a decent FAQ on asp.net state: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20021016.asp

From that Article, here is some information on StateServer:

  • In a web farm, make sure you have the same MachineKey in all your web servers. See KB 313091 on how to do it.
  • Also, make sure your objects are serializable. See KB 312112 for details.
  • For session state to be maintained across different web servers in the web farm, the Application Path of the website (For example \LM\W3SVC\2) in the IIS Metabase should be identical in all the web servers in the web farm. See KB 325056 for details
