Correct, but "would" -> "should". the question is how the load balancer knows how to do that. > if so, how is that guaranteed? A session is determined by the combination of IP-address, port and session ID. Assuming that all machines appear under the same external IP address, the load banlancer must know about this, and keep track of the session IDs to pick the right machine. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
