Im looking for some advice. I'm going to setup 2 virtual machines setup to load balancing (round robin) an Umbraco website.
Does Umbraco deal with sessions automatically? If not what is the recomended solution to allow 2 (or more) copies of a site to run in a load balanced environment (preferably without additional VMs) and maintaining user state accross requests (i.e. potentially going to different servers).
Umbraco is just another asp.net based web application and I believe manages session state as does any other asp.net app. So you can use SQL server to manage state across the servers as it explains in this MSDN article
Distributed Sessions with Umbraco
