I'm attempting to setup load balancing between two windows servers
running ASP. I'm using Apache and Mod Proxy because we are grafting
some other applications on a different platform under the same URL.
I'm attempting to load balance the ASP application across two web
sites, but cant figure out the stickysession settings. The balancing
works great, keeps going back and forth, but it wont stick once a
session is established. I was attempting to use ASPSESSIONID but
unlike JSESSIONID and some others, it seems to append a random number
to the end, i.e. ASPSESSIONID93493 for each session. Any thoughts, or
should i just use something besides ASPSESSIONID?

My config is :
<Proxy balancer://mycluster>
BalancerMember http://1.1.2.179:80 (obviously not my real
IPs)
BalancerMember http://1.1.2.180:80
</Proxy>

ProxyPass /test/ balancer://mycluster/test/
stickysession=Cookie:ASPSESSIONID nofailover=On

I gave up on that and just had IIS send back a unique cookie per
server. Here are some good articles:
