Having session state on the server side is very convenient, but when  
it comes to scaling out it becomes a real pain.  If you have a site  
that must be able to handle a lot of traffic (pick your number,  
depends a lot on your app) then the convenience of server side  
session state quickly becomes a liability.  For high traffic sites I  
highly recommend designing it to not use server side session state.
