Subject: AW: [users@httpd] webserver confusion...

Hi there,

I have a question about this round robin stuff. I host one website with =
two
webservers (or I would like to). I tried round robin, but I have a =
problem
with that. For my website it is nessecary that after round robin chooses =
one
host the user has to stay on that host for the complete session, because
important data is temporarily stored during a session. With conventional
round robin the user switches between the two hosts with every click he =
makes
which results in fatal errors.
So my question is, is there any way for a load balancing where the user =
is
sent to one of the two hosts(randomly or depending on the traffic) and =
then
stays there?

Thanks,
Holli
