Re: RAM based cookies

We do not want to store our session data in SQL Server or a State Server due
to performance implications, both valid session options aside from INPROC.
Performance is a factor because of the need for ASP.NET/IIS to call SQL
Server/StateServer to store/retrieve session information. Inproc won't work
in a cluster because your session technically moves from one server to
another within the cluster, and the INPROC session does not follow.

Going back to my question - If ... we have disabled the use of session
because we have clustered web servers and do not want to store session state
elsewhere due to performance concerns, does that prohibit the use of these
session cookies altogether?

Thanks again.
