Session State

[Tim]

Has any used Caching Application Block to store session state? I need my
application to be scalable so I am going to store session state on a SQL db.
I am curious if anyone has the Caching Application Block in production.

Thanks

Yes, however the caching application block has a bug that makes the cache
susceptible to race conditions so you need to get the latest patch.

it's very good except for the fact that if the website sees a lot of traffic
as in the case of 100,000 hits per day, you may start to see issues. If you
aren't expecting that volume, fire away at the caching block. It's very easy
to use.
