Effective load balancing with 2 web servers?

    I'm looking for an effective means of carrying a session on a set of load balanced web servers which have (more or less) identical content. I'm using a hardware based load balancer in a round-robin configuration to split out the load.
    The problem occurs when you click on any link on the site; you are routed back thru to the virtual IP and then onto the other server in the load balanced set.

    I imagine that there is a way of doing this based on session IDs generated by IIS or some sort ASP manipulation.

    I'm working in an infrastrucure capacity but I need to come up with a solution which would in turn be manipulated by a developer.

    Any info appreciated

    if its a win2k cluster, then application center can do this for you using client affinity.

    Cheers Butch, but Win2K load balancing (WLBS) cannot seem to handle more than one load balanced virtual IP per cluster set. (I need to have the facility to LB more than one set of IPs per cluster).
