Connection problems with SQL Server in ASP.NET applications using out-of-process session state
I have several ASP.NET applications deployed in a farm of 4 Windows 2003 machines. Each application uses a separate App Pool and Virtual Directory in IIS. They rely heavily on sessions which are persisted out of process on a single SQL Server 2000 (<sessionstate mode="sqlserver" ... />). Applications are compiled against .NET 3.0 but .NET 3.5 SP1 is installed on servers.
