Greetings Max:
On a different solution path, most load balancers have 'Sticky Sessions' (by some name), a process where subsequence request from the
same client route back to the same Web Server as the previous request. Is there a way your ISP can turn this on?
-rwg
This is what I think, not necessarily what is accurate!

| thanx Luke,
|
| This part
| "When a user first comes to a Web application by clicking a hyperlink, or
| typing a URL such as
http://example.microsoft.com/Webapp/, a load balancer
| routes the request to a specific machine in the Web farm. For example, the
| load balancer selects a machine named w10.asite.com to handle this request.
| ASP will create a new session for the request running on this specific
| machine. In the Session_OnStart event, the ASP script can redirect the user,
|
| <% Response.Redirect("http://w10.sample.com/Webapp/firstpage.asp"
| %>
| "I understand the logic of the above but how do i find the dns address of
| the server. ie how do i know it is w10.asite.com?
|
| I am researching Session_OnStart as quickly as i can. I guess i use the
| Session_OnStart when the user logs on for example and whenever i refer to a
| relative page it takes it from the original server until the session
| ends/abandons?
|
| thanx, i think i have more questions coming :o)
