Session - Caching question

[gavkel]

We are building a system with ASP.NET. Currently running
through the optimisation of the system using different caching
mechanisms. Were using Linux LBS for load balancing - this does not
employ sticky sessions. So my question is this - what caching
techniques can we use if we don't have sticky sessions across the
load balances web servers?


Thanks in advance

Out of the box, you are pretty much tied to individual
server cache strategies. You could also employ some
sort of cache notification system across the farm.

If you can purchase an add-on product, ScaleOut StateServer
not only provides web farm session management in memory
both in application and out of application, it old has
a simple API for caching objects and making that
same object available across the farm.

demonstrating how to do this:
