I can see how a servlet environment adds a lot of niceties but I also know that adds alot of overhead that you beeter make use of or you are going to pay a performance penalty. And performance was what you were looking for when you decided to add more servers! My point is PHP does need to become Java unless it _really_ needs to. I believe memcached can provide a distributed session container with enough redundancy and speed for most medium to large applications. It requires smart code and that means a lot of work but it can be done.
