The main problem with using persistence for session var tracking is that all you are gaining from the LVS is performance... You are not getting any high availability i.e. if your real server falls over durring a persistent SSL session you loose your shopping basket (or whatever)

Anyone using ASP/IIS will be well used to the service restarting all the time due to the piddly 64MB ASP memory limit in IIS5 (wonder if they'll raise this in .net)

My wife always leaves web sites open for things like holidays / hotels etc so that when I come home I can see it...
Often as soon as I click anything I loose the session.. :-(

Bad design full stop.
To save money on re-coding.. code it properly in the first place.
