Right now each Zope server independently handles session management which means that if a Zope server fails the users on that Zope server do not get redirected to a functioning Zope server but get "stuck" on the failed Zope server.

It should work, but the problem lies in the "moderate" amount of users,
and the performance issues one may expect (notably read conflicts before
2.8, BTree conflicts before 2.10 or 2.11).
The original poster may also go as far as setting up a separate ZEO
server just for sessions, if that's worth the effort.
