Jason writes "Our web application is about to hit the prime time and go from a single webserver machine and single SQL database, into a web-farm with clustered SQL Server 7 databases.

Are there any issues with doing this? I understand we lose our session state by going to a web-farm, but is there a single decent scalable design for the SQL server databases? A consultant came in and told us that two machines controlling a single drive package being the cluster holding all the data, with "front-end" SQL servers being the point-of-contact for the web-farm, and that point-of-contact front set holds only current/recent database data, for speed and efficiency.

Are there pitfalls, things I should watch out for? Any help or directions to articles would be dynamite.

Thanks in advance."
