newbee questions on web garden

[Danny Ni]

Hi,

I have questions:
(1) To establish web garden, a machine must have mutiple processors. Right?
(2) To use ASP.Net session in a web garden environment, process model must
be out-of-process, not in-process. Right?
(3) How do I change an ASP.Net web application to out-of-process state
management? The default is in-process, is it?

TIA

1. No

2. If you use Session Affinity, you can use InProc. Session Affinity
tells the load balancer to send all subsequent requests from the
visitor back to the same server. Beware, users that run
their outgoing traffic through network proxy server farms will
regularly loose session. Read more as to why and a product
option that we use where I work (and it works quite well) to
resolve the issue:

3. You can change the web.config file. Read more about
your alternatives and how to make them work:
