Re: Session interface

We use it - exactly for the reason stated: sharing session info across
server instances. We could have used the filesystem implementation as
well (as there's a shared fs anyway for the cache), but we share session
info with non-skunkweb apps as well - and then the universal character
of a SQL-based relational database comes into play. So indeed, the
ability to share session info without difficulty seems to be the biggest
reason for using a rdbms-based sessionstore. Well, I guess one good
reason is enough isn't? :)

Rgds,
