Hmmm. I'm not sure I understood how you would implement how a session
state in my case.  Specificly, I would like to have it so that a user
ssh's into the cluster, runs a process, logs out, than when they log back
in they are able to get to the job that they ran to monitor it's progress
with ps, top, etc.  If this isn't possible in LVS than it's true that LVS
isn't for me but this is what I want to clarify.

Thanks again,
Cere
