Hi,

Assuming you are clustering an HTTP service in the 'common' fashion...

LVS --> realservers (+ web server + cgi + cookies) --> backend database

...then do you _really_ need persistence based on individual cookies?

Because your cgi / asp / php / jsp etc... that reads and writes your
cookies will be the same across all the real servers (because you are load
balancing the application / web pages etc...) thus the cookie will provide
the state information (to / from the database) that you need.

If this isn't the case for your web application, could you describe your
situation further?
