MySQL, PHP sessions and multiple machines

Following on from our previous experiments, we realised that the problem with running a web-based service (such as the Horde webmail client) across multiple servers is maintaining session information between the machines.

PHP's default session handling functions make use of flat files stored on a local disk. PHP, however, provides a way to over-ride this with user-defined functions. In other words it's possible to plug your own session handling routines into PHP's session handler.
